The world thinks Mia Morrissey is dead... but Mia is going to risk everything as she returns to America, the land that forced her into the Registry and a marriage to the highest bidding male, Grant Marsden. Grant is willing to do anything to gain power and seeks to assume the role of the grand commander of America. Will Mia and her new associates with the rebel group, Affinity, be able to stop Grant and destroy the Registry?
THE ALLIANCE is the third and final installment in Shannon Stoker's Registry series. I would suggest reading it in the context of the series as a whole as the various characters and story threads are all coming together in one spectacular confrontation. Shannon Stoker has several surprises in store for readers as things are moving quickly and there is little time for a recap for new readers.
Shannon Stoker's characters are not static as they continue to grow and evolve with each subsequent novel in the trilogy. In particular, Mia is starting to have doubts about her own role as she is starting to look inward and examine herself and what she wants and believes. Mia is becoming more of a woman in her own right and her relationship with Andrew is also maturing in the process. I love that Shannon Stoker explores this aspect with Mia as it would have been an easy plot device to simply cheer her on to success without addressing her continued role as a pawn, albeit by a more female-friendly organization than the Registry. I also really like the new character of Florence "Flo" Martineau as she aids Mia in her emotional growth.
THE ALLIANCE is a fast paced dystopian tale that keeps the reader rapidly flipping the pages. I like that we get a taste of the history of the Registry through the brief diary/journal entries as it takes THE ALLIANCE full circle. Shannon Stoker has crafted a trilogy that is well worth reading and is easily recommended for fan of young adult dystopian novels.
