MILA 2.0: Redemption audiobook

But..WHY!!

I haven't read any Mila 2.0 books in a couple years, so I'm proud of myself for actually remembering the characters and general plot.The writing style was different from many books I've read recently and took some adjusting to. Driza wrote like the author of the Testing series did: more into telling emotions and thought processes than showing them. While some authors show the character's emotions more through actions and dialogue, I think Driza just tells you how Mila's feeling. Nothing wrong with that, just a different writing style that I've noticed while reading various books.I liked Mila and Lucas and their relationship. It was a good example of friendship between a guy and girl without anything romantic about it. They were an efficient, productive team, each using their best set of skills to work out problems. Then there was Hunter; oh how he changed. I felt like his change was a tad drastic, even though some of his animosity was understanble since (view spoiler)[ Mila did kill his step dad but she was under brain control by Quinn. So really, Hunter should be mad at Quinn more. (hide spoiler)]. Most of the other secondary characters weren't too interesting because I felt like their appearance in the book was very linear. One after another interacted with Mila but they never interacted with each other. They seemed flat, like they had no other purpose for existing except to help Mila. Once they got to the school, though, the minor characters became more interesting. I liked the mystery part of the book best. Not the characters, not the even the sci-fi parts, just really the mystery and school conspiracy. Note on that: because they somtimes use code names, a couple times they made editing mistakes. For example, one girl named Abby had a code name of Annie but was called Abby by someone that only knew her by Annie. The ending was the only thing that I disliked. I hate when a trilogy ends on a cliffhanger! Prime example is champion by Marie Lu. Now that one killed me. But this one just felt unfinished. There were still many loose ends that weren't tied up by the last sentence. I wanted more explanations.Anyway, Mila 2.0: redemption is a fun read and a good conclusion to the series. I'd recommend this trilogy for younger teens that like a combination of sci-fi, mystery, and action with a little romance.

I like this series, and this was a good addition.Silly me assumed this was the end of the series. Not only isn't it, but it ends on a MAJOR cliffhanger. If I'd known that I would have waited for #4 to come out... though I wonder if #4 will be the last one? I really will try to pay more attention from now on.

To view on Rainy Day's Books, Video Games and Other Writings: https://rainyday.blog/2018/02/24/book...After getting to the end of this book, I can definitely say I enjoyed reading Redemption. While the ending itself made me want to cry, the overall direction Debra Driza takes this last book in the trilogy was really enjoyable to read. I felt like we finally got the real answers we needed as to why Sarah (the person who Mila used to be) died in the fire and found out what Holland was planning on doing next.I found the way the story developed to be quite surprising. It wasn’t at all what I was expecting, but I went with it because I wanted to see where this would all end up. I also enjoyed reading about Mila’s relationship with Lucas. You could tell there was a good connection there and I really wanted to see where it’d go. While I like Hunter’s character, I found that I actually like Lucas better because he’s understood Mila since the beginning and still wants to help her find out the truth. And at this point in the story, Hunter and Mila’s relationship is pretty much dead anyway.One of my favorite things about Redemption is the amount of detective work the characters do to find out the truth about Holland and what he’s plotting. In particular, the last half of the book where they are in the school trying to find out what’s going on with the scholarship recipient students. It’s quite an interesting plot in the story I wasn’t at all expecting because then we realize how big of a threat Holland truly is.I also enjoyed that redemption was a big part of the story too. It came into play with Mila gaining back the trust of some of Quinn’s members of the Vita Obscura and Holland at the end of the book. Because after the events in Renegade, a lot of the characters are still weary of Mila and whether she’s really someone who can be trusted. The same is said with Holland because he is given a choice to make at the end of the story, which I feel like I can’t really get into without ruining the end of this trilogy. But it’s definitely a big choice, I can say for sure.As the last book in this trilogy that I’ve enjoyed reading, there were still some things I didn’t quite enjoy about this one. For starters, while I enjoyed seeing a connection blossom between Mila and Lucas, I hated that the beginning of Redemption was pretty much the same as Renegade, except that Lucas is the boy with Mila instead of Hunter. But the plot pretty much starts out the same there because they both look together to try and connect Sarah’s death with Holland and to find out what he’s planning on doing next.I also wasn’t quite fond of the way Driza decided to end this trilogy. I hated it because I felt like Mila deserved so much better after everything she’s gone through and it actually made me want to cry. But it also didn’t really tell us much either because we don’t know what happens with the other characters afterwards. Mind you, I wasn’t exactly expecting this trilogy to have a super happy ending or anything. I was expecting it to have a neat resolution though, and I feel like that didn’t really happen.I think as a trilogy though, I think that’s one of my biggest problems with it. Because while I’ve enjoyed reading this trilogy overall, I just feel like there’s something missing in the plot. I guess the best way to describe it would be to say that it’s rushed so certain things that happen in the trilogy don’t necessarily make sense to me. The best example that comes to mind for me right now is the Vita Obscura group as a whole. From the beginning of the trilogy, the author made this group sound like it was huge with a lot of members in it. However, the only members of the group that come to help Mila out with uncovering the truth about Holland are the ones she interacts with in Renegade. Then, there’s everything that happens with Holland in general that’s full of plot holes. I know that Mila as an android is supposed to be a secretive military operation that not too many people are supposed to know about. But besides Holland, Quinn, Nicole and Daniel, there weren’t too many other key players who knew about Mila. To me though, that just seemed too convenient because I feel like more people would’ve played a part in Mila’s creation, therefore they’d be playing a big part in the story.And that’s one of my biggest problems with this trilogy. The story being told overall is unique, amazing and everything I want to read in a science fiction, young adult story. But there’s just so much with the plot that doesn’t add up, isn’t fully explained that makes it hard to wrap your head around and accept what’s been told to you.However, I still enjoyed reading this trilogy and was sad to see it come to an end, even if the ending isn’t at all what I wanted for Mila. It left me feeling emotionally sad to be done with these books, but also looking forward to whatever book I decide to read next.

I've had almost 24 hours to process my feelings towards this book and I'm still not sure I'm ready. This was one of the most emotional and shocking endings to a series that I've ever read.I really don't want to give any spoilers, I don't even want to hint at anything, so this review will be purely my emotions and feelings about the book.When you start this book the feeling is optimistic. There are bad things that Mila has to face and recover from, but for me, I started out hoping that there would be a light for her. A way to end the struggle she's been going through and truly find happiness. Moving forward with the novel, I found myself caught up in the adventure and the nervousness that goes along with what Mila and Lucas are trying to accomplish. The group of allies move forward trying to finish what they started, which is stopping Holland. They find leads and dig into them full force trying to make sure people are safe from this monster.Throughout the book you will have ups and downs, emotions will run wild as you feel everything along with Mila. There will be broken hearts. It's unavoidable. But I think the writing was, once again, excellent. I think the story progressed in the way it needed to and while certain parts made me angry and sad, I know why the author chose to go that direction.If you've been a fan of the series, I'm sure you will have mixed emotions at this final book, but you should definitely read it.

Mila 2.0 Redemption is a thrilling fiction story, by Debra Driza, about an android girl, Mila, who is running away from General Holland and running to find answers about who she really was. Mila recently found out that she has a bomb inside of her, and the bomb is set to go off at any time with only a two hour warning. The biggest problem is that the enemy, General Holland, is the one controlling it. Her tech friend Lukas cannot stop it, but he is willing to help Mila on her journey to find answers about who her former human self, Sarah, was. Soon into their journey, Lukas and Mila find out that this mystery goes deeper than they thought, and with the help of the friends or “allies” that they found on the way, they are determined to solve the mystery before the bomb sets off. Will they succeed in deactivating the bomb, finding out who Mila is, and cracking Sarah's forgotten case? This book, the third book in the Mila 2.0 series, is an amazing book, and it had me on the edge of my seat until I finished the last page.

Android Girl - Fighting to be human.This book and the two previous prequels are wonderful and I'd recommend them to all those passionate about sci-fi and YA. Maybe if you are a fan of suspense, thriller and action, the last book would taste better to your eyes and mind. In my modest opinion, i think the whole series lack some romance, there is, don't get me wrong, but I don't like having "wrong romance" hovering the whole plot which is Mila's attraction to Hunter leaving the real love for the last three chapter of the last book. Overall, being well-verse in Computers myself, I did really enjoy the story. It's not extremely exaggerated or not exaggerated at all and I think Driza has got some wonderful things going on on her mind.Spoiler: If you like happy endings, you'll be pretty heart stabbed.

** spoiler alert ** There aren't many books that leave me in tears, but I can honestly say this is one of them. OMG, Debra Driza sure knows how to kill me. I still can't believe how it ended. I mean, come one!!!While not my favorite one of the three (the first one holds that spot), Redemption blew me away. Albeit, the relationship I was cheering on at the start of the series disintegrated; but the new one is, in my opinion, even better. I love it when the smart, geeky character gets the girl/guy. The end scene, which came all too soon, felt a little rushed to me. I guess when I think about it, drawing it out would take away some of the gut-wrenching emotion. In reality, any end scene would have ended too quickly. I love the series that much!!!!
