Emergent Beta Rachel Cohn Books

I read Beta about a year ago and I really liked the book and I was excited for the new one to come out. This book reunites Elysia with her original Zhara. Elysia is pregnant and with Zhara's old boyfriend even though she's still in love with her clone boyfriend who she was seperated from.

I didn't like this book as much as the original. I thought that both the girls came across as very snooty and selfish. The whole books is about the girls being jealous of each other and who has which boy instead of concentrating on the clones fight for freedom. Also all the humans were bad, and all the clones were good even though there were several humans who had helped them and several clones who were evil.

I get that teens tend to see in black and white with no shades of grey, but I also know that as adults we need to show them that this is not the case that there are reasons why people do the things they do. I didn't see that in this book.

Emergent Beta Rachel Cohn Books Reviews

Ever since reading Beta, I have been itching to read the sequel. It's lovely, rebellious, and a smooth quick read. Highly recommend.
A nice follow-up from Beta.
TRIGGER WARNINGS This book contains slut-shaming, ableism, gaslighting, and pregnancy by rape.

This book was delayed. Originally due out in 2013 (maybe March), it didn't release until October 2014. Never heard any explanation for the wait, but that's okay - probably none of my business. And maybe because EMERGENT is the second in a series (no word yet on the next book, though I think the series sold in a four-book deal), there seemed to be little publicity for it. It's only just barely mentioned on the author's website. ("And, it's official Beta book 2 EMERGENT is now available!") Not even a summary for the book there, but I suppose that's fine, too - maybe to prevent spoilers? And managing a website can be troublesome.

I gave the first book, BETA, five stars, and like with other five-star books I was concerned I wouldn't enjoy the next as much, so I put off reading EMERGENT when it was finally published..

And thus I have mixed feelings about EMERGENT. It starts off from the point of view of Zhara, who took a drug that slowed her heartbeat, so when she crashed at sea at first her rescuers thought she was dead...so they cloned her. (It makes sense in the context of the book.) Anyway, now Zhara lives on an island, Heathen, with self-actualised clones who are planning an Insurrection against the people of the island paradise Demesne, from whom the Emergents escaped.

Then Zhara's clone, Elysia, arrives and there are love jealousies and...not much happens until the ambush. When the characters move to Demesne, the plot gets going. But is it a case of too little, too late? The conveniences of someone acquiring someone else's lightning finger abilities; the two women-in-fridges (i.e. females who aren't Zhara or Elysia) are the first to die...

I love Demesne's setting, such a vibrant and vivid world of colours. It's fascinating to learn about cloning, and the plight for clones' rights. And while I do rather like this novel, I wonder how much of my score is due to nostalgia. I was hopeful of another five-star read after BETA, so I think my own expectations brought me down.

All this said, I'm very much looking forward to the next book, or books, in this series. Hopefully the wait for Book 3 won't be as long, but I'll understand if it is.
I really liked the first book Beta and had high hopes for Emergent, the second book in the series.... Unfortunately, I am disappointed. Overall, this book was okay, but as I read through it, I kept feeling that it lacks something.... I still cannot completely put a finger on it, but it feels incomplete and very difficult to believe. It feels fake and pushed through, almost rushed in a way. There were still cliff hangers at the end of the book which I felt could have been resolved with just a few more pages of writing and explanations. I felt a bit confused at the end as several things happened which left me saying, "Huh? What just happened?"

I would say that if you loved the first book, read this one, but with caution. It does contain some unpleasant scenes. If you did not care too much for the first book, then skip this one - you won't be missing much.

Happy Reading!
I waited 2+years for this book to come out. The first had a nice pace getting the story started. Every part seemed to have purpose. I expected the second book to dig right into the action and drama that the first book set up for. To me, it was just a bunch of pointless rambling. I feel that this second book should have been turned into a short story and maybe should have been called a 1.5. Having expectations to see the baby play a part and the first elysia (zhara) to do More than mope really set me back. the only real progress happened in the last 1or 2 percent of the book. I wish I wouldnt have payed a whole 10 dollars to read a book full of nothings.
The ending felt rushed but overall a really good read. Characters and their dynamics with each other were well thought out.
The book doesn't seem to have a Distinct outline. It starts a few plots then just ends them and in two chapters it just ends. All this buildup and then nothing. It's like the author felt rushed to finish the story in limited pages. Still a quick and entertaining read though!
