Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-26 00:00:00 Devin Jessee 3.5* She's kinda dumb... and she's gonna be relevant for the rest of the series. I have a prediction for Nina. There was the whole Jason reveal at the end with Luke and the adults. I'm guessing she going to be a thorn in Luke's side later on. She gonna screw them over because she's stupid. There are enough hints in this where I could see her becoming a betrayer. I mean she went back and forth on doing the right thing so many times.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-23 00:00:00 Christopher Hall "Among the Betrayed" is the third book in the series. I really enjoyed this book. This book is about a young girl named Nina. The population police found her useful and used her to betray other third children. In her holding cell she meets three other children, Alia, Percy, and Matthias. While in the cell she tries to find information about them, but they do not tell her anything. One day while The Hating Man was questioning her a guard was found poisoned. Nina finds the poisoned guard's keys and escapes with Alia, Percy, and Matthias. They make their way to Harlow's School for boys and began to look for Lee Grant. To find food the four children took food from a garden behind the school. One day Lee finds Nina stealing food and takes her to Mr. Harlow. Nina soon finds out that this whole thing was a set up to see if she was trustworthy or not. Now she, Lee, Mr. Talbot, and the other three children are working to overthrow the population police. The main characters are Nina, Percy, Matthias, and Alia. Nina is a young girl who makes the population police believe she is helping them. Nina grows up a lot as the book goes on. Percy is a nine year old boy who is very smart. He looks up to Matthias and also helps take care of Alia. Matthias is the oldest of the three children. He will do anything to protect them. Alia is six and is very smart for her age. She trusts Nina the most out of the three children. The setting of the story starts off in a holding cell in the population police prison. The holding cell is very cold, damp, and dirty. The setting then moves to the forest where the four children hide out after escaping from the prison. The time period of the book is not mentioned, but I would guess it takes place in the future sometime. The theme of this story is survival. The four children have to do all they can to survive. They have to try and find food and shelter in the woods to stay alive. They do all they can to not get caught by the population police again. I would recommend this book to anyone who is already reading this series, or anyone who is in middle school and beyond. This book has great imagery and a great plot that keeps you interested.
