Scavenger Girl: Season of Zoetica by Jennifer Arnston (Scavenger Girl #5)

Synopsis:

Haunted by her past and unsure of her future, Una slowly realizes not everything is as it appears. Disenchanted with plans and progress, her attempts to do what’s right while keeping those near her safe, continue to fail. When a battle outside the gates of the Resistance leaves them vulnerable to the encroaching world, Una learns the true cost of war and the reality of what lies ahead. Frustrated with the Council, and struggling to control the battle within her own spirit, her grip on humanity slips and the beast within grows stronger. After losing control one too many times, Una flees far from her friends and family in an attempt to protect them from the single greatest threat to their survival...her.

Review:

Scavenger girl has been such a rollercoaster of a series and I cannot believe this is over. And I am kind of hoping it's not especially after reading this final season and being left wondering with that surprise ending.

Una has grown so much already but life has even more to throw her way in Season of Zoetica - no human being should have to be put through so much but Una manages to come out fighting. Although she nearly loses herself in all the turmoil, pain and heartache, Una still manages to pull herself through and fight for her family, her children and all of Ashlund, to bring down the terrible rule of her Uncle Reinik.

This series is full of characters I loved, there isn't one person who didn't fit the story or wasn't needed to carry on with Una's journey through life. Her love for Calish, Hope, Marsh and her children is at the centre of all she does and all she feels and is what saves her soul every time she's about to lose it and give up. She is an incredible heroine, who is allowed to make mistakes as all humans do and learn from them.

I must admit I was slightly taken aback by the ending. It left the story somehow untold and I just need more, if just for Una's sake.

Fabulous read, massive thanks to Jennifer for allowing me to be part of Una's journey. It's been fantastic.

My rating: 5/5
