Jiden's life at the Century Military Academy is forever changed when she is asked to volunteer for a special program. They want to implant her and other cadets with a special, prototype neural computer. It will make them smarter, more capable, and able to split their attention between dozens of activities. Her friends jump at the opportunity... but Jiden isn't so certain.
She sees it as her duty to volunteer. Despite all of her doubts, it's a duty she owes to her world and to her friends. But as things begin to go wrong, as her life is put in danger once again, Jiden quickly realizes that she may have shouldered a duty that she can't bear. The implants might be driving her fellow cadets violently insane... and Jiden may be next.
She will need to muster every ounce of courage, every bit of intelligence, in order to save her friends. Even then, her own survival might be too much to ask. But Jiden doesn't know how to back down, and she'll do her duty no matter the cost
Valors Duty (Children of Valor Book 3) Reviews
-
In many ways, this book is the culmination of the first 2. Elements introduced in those books come to a head in this one, with a number of surprising revelations.
This series does suffer from the usual "male author writing female characters as men with boobs" and weak characterization found in many military themed novels. But if you like that genre, and I do, the story, backstory, technology, and action more than make up for it. -
I enjoyed the story, like the first two. However it is hard to be empathetic with Jiden, considering how often she forgets lessons past. She has pretty good instincts for people—unless she accepts you among her core friends. She is reluctant—or just resistant—to think of you as an enemy, no matter the betrayal.
As a leader-in-training this is a systematic flaw that will continue to minimize her successes, even as it reduces her ranking. She’s going to have to be willing to permanently relinquish friendships to achieve her goals. She may come across as compassionate, but she also comes across as weak. It’s so disgruntling. Everyone else seems to understand this. -
This has been a very compelling story so far with good characters. I like that the main character has developed and grown from the first in the series to where she's at now. While still young, the cadets are more grown up and are dealing with more adult issues and scenarios. For me it is always a good sign when I read a book and begin to like some of the secondary or more minor characters. In this case, the admiral has really grown on me, as has the doctor that continues to snipe at the protagonist for every incident that brings her to the infirmary. This has been a fun read so far and I hope there are more books to come.

Good youth series.
It is just a little young for me. I may not be his target audience. I like his characters. I more relate to the mom or admiral. I have no idea on the science, if it is plausible. I found it interesting. You can tell the author is ex-military. -
Excellent
Great series, .It has interesting strong characters and the story
Is one that you want to keep reading. I really liked the main character. -
Easy life or my dream future
It's a difficult decision but becomes easier when staying true to yourself and doing what is best for your country. -
3.5 stars. Good continuation.
