From Goodreads:
In book three of the Testing series, the United Commonwealth wants to eliminate the rebel alliance fighting to destroy The Testing for good. Cia is ready to lead the charge, but will her lethal classmates follow her into battle? She wants to put an end to the Testing In a scarred and brutal future, The United Commonwealth teeters on the brink of all-out civil war. The rebel resistance plots against a government that rules with cruelty and cunning. Gifted student and Testing survivor, Cia Vale, vows to fight. But she can’t do it alone. This is the chance to lead that Cia has trained for – but who will follow? Plunging through layers of danger and deception, Cia must risk the lives of those she loves–and gamble on the loyalty of her lethal classmates. Who can Cia trust? The stakes are higher than ever-lives of promise cut short or fulfilled; a future ruled by fear or hope–in the electrifying conclusion to Joelle Charbonneau’s epic Testing trilogy. Ready or not…it’s Graduation Day. The Final Test is the Deadliest!
Why I’m waiting: Honestly? I need to know how it all ends! This isn’t even like, my favorite series. But I like it enough to need a conclusion. And while I do have some issues with the series, I do find it to be entertaining and enjoyable, so of course I need to read the conclusion!
I have been dying to read The Testing I just haven’t gotten around to it, I really need to before this one comes out! Great pick =)
I haven’t read this series. Would you recommend it?
Here’s my Wednesday post.
It’s hard to say, honestly. I mean, they were fun books (so far!), but I kind of felt like I had read the story before. This is my review of The Testing- http://www.itstartsatmidnight.com/2013/12/recently-read-review-testing.html . I guess it is worth reading at SOME point, but like, doesn’t have to be front and center on your TBR. I liked it more than I think I should have, if that makes sense 😉
I haven’t had the chance to read any of this series. It sounds really interesting though. What other books would you compare it to? Have a great week!
It is like a dystopian smorgasbord. It takes bits and pieces from like, every other dystopian ever. This is seriously my guilty pleasure pick 😉
I’ve heard a ton of good things about this series but for some reason I never got around to reading it. How is it anyway? I’m thinking of giving it a try. Great pick by the way.
Check out my WoW picks this week!
It is decent. At times it made me angry, but I just couldn’t put it down! I have many mixed emotions on it, honestly. But, I can’t leave the ending unread, so I need it!
Haven’t started the series, since at the time was going to buy the first one the reviews put me off it, but I should try it and decide for myself, right?

The reviews are probably more accurate 😉 I mean, it is entertaining, but not really unique.
I’ve been waiting to read all of these in one swoop. They sound awesome.

Good call on reading them all together! I seriously don’t remember where Independant Study left off. And I definitely don’t have the time or desire for a re-read. Oops?
I believe I have the first book, haven’t read it though. 🙁 Guess I need to and soon. Great pick.

Thanks! You’re probably better off now that you can read them all at once (I need to start doing that more often!).
I haven’t tried this series at all, but I really really want to!!! I drool over them on Goodreads occasionally and then remember how BIG my tbr is right now. *eyes TBR sadly* One of these days….
My TBR is insane too. And the worst/best part is, we will never, ever catch up, because new awesome books will keep coming out, and we won’t be able to read as fast as they’re published 😉
