The third book in the New York Times bestselling and RITA award winning Forget Tomorrow series is a thrilling conclusion to an epic trilogy.
Seventeen-year-old precognitive Olivia Dresden is an optimist. Since different versions of people's futures flicker before her eyes, she doesn't have to believe in human decency. She can literally see the path to goodness in each person—if only he or she would make the right decision. No one is more conflicted than her mother, Chairwoman Dresden, and Olivia is fiercely loyal to the woman her mother could be.
But when the Chairwoman captures Ryder Russell, a boy from the rebel Underground, Olivia is forced to reevaluate her notions of love and faith. With Ryder's help, Olivia must come to terms with who her mother is in the present—and stop her before she destroys the world..
Seize Today is the thrilling conclusion to
a fantastic dystopian series. I’ve been a huge fan of this series since the
beginning, Pintip writes such compelling characters that you can’t help but
love them and want to follow them everywhere. I was dubious when I found out
that each book would feature a different character, to me Callie and Logan were
perfect characters but I worried for nothing. Remember Yesterday featured Jessa and Tanner who are by far my
favourites characters of the whole series. Pintip has made sure to grab readers
from the first page and from there the rest is history.
Seize Today is about Olivia, Chairwoman
Dresden’s daughter and she is the world’s one true precognitive; meaning she
can look into the future and see all the possible outcomes that can come with
just one simple action. Due to her ability, Olivia has isolated herself for ten
years until she joins Jessa in her plan to save the future and meets Ryder, the
boy who in every future, kills her.
Olivia was such an adorable character,
she’s so broken and vulnerable that you can’t help but be immediately
protective of her. Ryder is Jessa’s best friend and Mikey’s adopted son, he's a very private
character and distrustful of almost everyone outside of his close friends and
family. Ryder has a harrowing back-story that broke my heart but what I loved
most about him was his interactions with Olivia. Olivia is a broken bird but he
never treated her as such, he knew she had the capabilities to be strong and
fearless. Their relationship is such a slow burn as each character slowly
begins to trust each other.
The Forget Tomorrow series has been fast
paced and action packed since the very beginning but all of this comes to a
head in Seize Today. Pintip has clearly known where she wanted this series to go from the the very beginning, decisions made in book one cleverly become clear in Seize Today, so many plot twists, so many answers to
questions I had forgotten and so many moments that had me on the edge of my
seat. Fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy this conclusion and I can’t wait
to see what Pintip comes up with next!
