Uncounted
Book Three in The World Collective Series
ESCAPE IS JUST THE BEGINNING
All her life, Rygita was told it was impossible to live outside the World Collective, believing the rhetoric that there was nothing beyond the ordered cities except wasteland, chaos, and death. But this was a lie.
Hidden in the mountains, far away from the Code’s reach, Ry discovers the Uncounted. These multi-generational families have built a thriving community of free people, offering Ry, Tali, and Loren their first real chance at a normal life, and an opportunity to reclaim their childhood.
But time is running out. Thanatos remains unchecked, and the United People are closing in. Somewhere in Ry’s memory lies the key to everything, if only she can unlock it in time. With the future hanging in the balance, she’ll have to work with the one person she swore never to trust: Tazib.
From pulse-pounding pod chases to daring rescues, Ry will risk it all in this epic conclusion to The World Collective trilogy.
In a world where truth has been buried under layers of lies, perhaps the most powerful discovery is that hope’s song never truly fades — it just needs a willing heart to hear it.

Fantastic book!
This is the book I've been waiting for for so long!! I loved the other 2 so I had pretty high expectations for Uncounted, but it did not disappoint! The book explores a society dictated by the Code, a moral technology which assigns rules, career roles and lifespan lengths for the better good of the society. But when the Code begins to falter, the perfection of the Code is questioned. In Uncounted, Ry searches for a way to stop the malfunctioning Code while everything she grew up being told is truth is called into question. The book will challenge how you think about society, the individual and the role of technology and what our future might involve.
It's a perfect series for teens, young adults or adults who love the dystopian genre but don't necessarily want all the violence or gore. But don't think this book isn't packed with plot twists, complex societies and very well developed characters! Cullen created very believable characters with their own unique traits and flaws and profoundly human emotions, problems and experiences.
Fantastic end to one of my new favourite series!
