EDITOR’S CHOICE
A gripping, fast-paced dystopian sequel with high stakes, compelling characters, and relentless tension—Caged keeps readers hooked from start to finish.
Caged, the second instalment in CC Robinson’s Divided series, is a gripping YA dystopian novel that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. Picking up where Divided left off, we find protagonist Rose in an even more dire situation—stripped of her freedom, trapped in a literal prison, and cut off from those who once stood by her side.
Robinson crafts a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors Rose’s predicament, making every chapter pulse with urgency. The stakes are higher than ever, as Rose not only fights for her own survival but also for the future of her city. Her journey from helpless captive to determined fighter is compelling, showcasing resilience and the power of hope in the face of tyranny.
One of the novel’s greatest strengths is its pacing. The action never falters, and as Rose unravels the sinister schemes of her captors, the tension builds masterfully. The story is interwoven with moments of reflection and character growth, ensuring that it’s not just about high-stakes action but also about the emotional depth of its heroine.
Readers who enjoyed Divergent or The Giver will appreciate the familiar dystopian themes, yet Caged maintains its own unique identity. With a well-developed world, gripping suspense, and a protagonist worth rooting for, this sequel solidifies the Divided series as a must-read for fans of the genre.
An electrifying read that delivers both heart and adrenaline—Robinson does not disappoint.
