I've heard everything from "live in the here and now" to "focus on your future" - and the message that goes with each is equally persuading. "Now that the Clock is gone, I never know if today is my last day. This is a first, so bear with me, please :) So, I think I shall resign myself to a random post on the way this book spiritually impacted me. I feel that I covered the themes and leading technology in the first review, as well as the characters (there weren't many new voices, but there were several characters who showed up that were mentioned in the last book, and you got to know them better *heart*). Spoiler Alert: If you have yet to read or finish A Time to Die, I wouldn't recommend reading the following review, as it might give away several things that are inherent to the plot of this book, but still a mystery in the first novel. Brandes stunned us all again and left us hanging on her every word. If you happened to read my raving review of the last novel, you'd know how head-over-heels I am with Nadine's work, and how exceptionally hard it is to surpass A Time to Die's fabulousness. A Time to Speak transcended its predecessor, A Time To Die, in so many ways I can hardly recount them all.
