Sequel Review: "A Time to Speak"

This is a review for the second book in the Out of Time Trilogy. I reviewed book 1 here. Please read book one before continuing. I'll be back with a fresh book/ series next week!
The Short:

A Time to Speak

Book 2 of the Out of Time Series

By: Nadine Brandes

5/5 Stars (and going on the favorites shelf)

What: God seems to be telling Parvin to speak out against the oppression in her country. But what happens when it seems like nothing at all is moving toward peace?

Recommended to those who like: Dystopian, Christian, some romance, and have read the first book

The Long:

Spoiler alert! Please read Book 1, A Time to Die, before continuing on.

Parvin has survived a grueling year—banishment, betrayal, and near death. But it seems like things are worse than ever. Reid is dead, Mother can’t seem to talk to her, and the Council is more determined than ever to control the USE. Jude’s clock invention is about to be used against them.

I really enjoyed this sequel. The characters continue to grow and the stakes are higher than ever. As in the first book, the Christian message is strong (but not preachy) and the characters are beautiful.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has read book one and enjoys Christian Dystopian fiction. I’m going to have a hard time waiting a whole year for the next book!
