Gadya seems to be PMSing throughout the entire story because she would hate on Alenna one second, and decide to like her again the next. Alenna and Gadya, who are very different from each other, become friends then enemies then friends again – a relationship too complicated for the term “frenemies” to encompass. Unfortunately, I didn’t connect with the characters in The Forsaken at all, mostly due to the copious amount of mood-swinging that goes on. But they soon discover that there’s more to The Wheel than it seems. In the midst of it all, Alenna and her new friends Gadya (a headstrong warrior girl), Liam (the blue-eyed, smoldering hot warrior boy), David (who landed on The Wheel the same time Alenna did), and others make plans to escape The Wheel before the Monk overruns everything. When she does, Alenna ends up on Prison Island Alpha – or The Wheel – where all GPPT failures get sent, and as she tries to adapt to the primitive society on The Wheel, she discovers that a powerful entity named the Monk has taken over the majority of The Wheel and everyone is at war. but she didn’t expect to fail the Government Personality Profile Test (GPPT) which tests for criminal tendencies. Her parents were brutally taken away by the police when Alenna was just a child, and she’s always felt somewhat different from the other kids. Sixteen-year-old Alenna Shawcross is an orphan living in the United Northern Alliance, the unification of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico that is now ruled by a dictatorship.
