The Sovereign Code #2
Hive Mind
The hunt for the Sovereign has begun

She must have been someone pretty awesome in a previous life (past life regression indicated a Care Bear), because she gets to do both. Beginning her career as a youth worker, then a secondary school teacher, before becoming a school psychologist, Tamar helps children and teens to live and thrive despite life’s hurdles like loss, relationship difficulties, mental health issues, and trauma.
As lover of reading, inspired by books that sparked beautiful movies in her head, Tamar loves to write young adult romance. To be honest, it was probably inevitable that her knowledge and love of literature would translate into writing emotion driven stories of finding life and love beyond our comfort zones.

A lifetime consumer of knowledge, Tamar holds degrees in Applied Science, Education and Psychology. When not reading, writing or working with teens, Tamar can be found with her husband and two children enjoying country life on their small slice of the Australian bush.

Echo and River have discovered there's a way to save mankind. The Sovereign is the only one with true immunity against the superbees, but they have to find the right person. Echo seems to be the logical answer, since she's the first from the Dead Zone who's immune. To be certain they have to test Echo - by letting her get stung by a queen bee. If they're wrong she won't survive the sting...
The first book ended in a cruel cliffhanger and this book starts exactly were the former ended, so you have to read Harvest Day to understand what's it all about. Since the cliffhanger was quite adrenaline-stuffed it's action from the beginning! Everyone also seem to have secrets that are revealed one after the other, and I've been surprised several times. Other times things feel very logical and therefore predictable, but I think there's a nice mix. I do feel like the pacing was a bit uneven and there were some repetitions.
This book also ends with a cliffhanger, although of a different kind. I'm happy that the next book is releasing in a couple of weeks!

Much better
I enjoyed this second book in the series more than the first. Exciting storyline and wonderful characters (gotta love Makk!). You will cheer, laugh, smirk, get angry, scared, confused and frustrated along with our main characters. Can't wait for the next book coming out in April! Also it has to be mentioned that the names of all the characters are truly unique!

Second book in the series. The first one ended on a cliffhanger and then this book was released a month early so I was super excited.
However, it lacked the excitement of the first one and seemed very sophomoric. Overarching plot points seem to make less sense in this book and it's starting to seem a little hacky.

After learning the truth about Harvest Day, Echo and River escape from the Green Zone. Only to find more horrors buried beneath the Dead Zone. A secret facility with a deadly guardian.
Echo, River, Chase and Flora risk their lives in their search for the Sovereign and permanent immunity. Can they find the answers they seek before time runs out? And what other secrets will come to light?
Hive Mind is the second book in The Sovereign Code series. I’ve really become invested in the outcome of this series and will be starting book three Queen Hunt very soon.

The second book of the Sovereign Code series is better than the first. The action begins immediately, picking up where the first book left off. So much happens in a short span (less than a week), that I found myself in the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. River and Echos relationship blooms despite the trouble and danger they face at every turn. The friendships formed and lost keep pace with the severity of the plot. However there are enough comedic and sweet moments that the entire story doesn’t feel bogged down with serious issues.

A really great second part to this new & exciting dystopian adventure! I really like the ideas & overall feel of this really scary world. Brilliant storyline mixed with interesting characters make this a very enjoyable read! You never know where the plot will go! A really great experience & I am really looking forward to the next part!

This series has me gripped! The dystopian world I didn't know I needed.
I have so many questions and yet did get a lot of answers in this book. I'm looking forward to diving into book three next.

The second book in The Sovereign Code series.
I enjoyed it but it wasn’t as good as Harvest Day. I loved the twists but it had more romance than the first book which I didn’t like. Overall a good plot.
Looking forward to reading the next book.

Hive Mind is the second book in The Sovereign Code series, and picks up where we left off at the end of book one.
This was another excellent book in the series, I found it to be a quick read however there was a lot of development through out. We were able to see more of our main characters relationships with each other, more back stories we didn’t previously get from the first book all without slowing down the current events.
This book also ended on a cliffhanger and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series and how everything is going to work out.

This is book two of The Sovereign Code and the main characters are River and Echo, one Green Born brought up in the luxury of the Green Zone where food is plentiful, and the other being Dead Born brought up in a life where every day is a fight for survival in the Dead Zone, where nothing can grow. They have discovered some of the secrets that the Green Zone and in particular, that River’s father Oren, has been hiding. Echo was the very first Dead Born to have immunity from bee stings in nearly two decades, whilst River’s own twin sister Flora, was found to be Vulnerable and forced to leave the Green Zone through the black door, to a world she has never known in the Dead Zone. She would be a target for those that live there, who have a hatred for those in the Green Zone and their lives of plenty, whilst their own families die of starvation and have nothing. Oren has placed Echo in the LaB and desperately wants a sample of her blood, but won’t say why. River has been placed back in Eden, where Clover works, and has also been told to mentor Echo and show her around, but to really keep an eye on her and check out her loyalties to the Green Zone! He misses his twin sister Flora and can’t believe how cold his father is about her absence. All he seems to care about is life going on as normal.
In reality, Oren has been testing people to find out who might be the Sovereign, the one who is immune to the sting of a queen bee and would be the answer to immunity for all, from the deadly super bees. It would be the answer to saving humanity once and for all, so long as the same mistakes aren’t made, but Oren has no desire to give immunity to any of the Dead Zone, only limiting it to those he trusts in his small elite group. Echo and River may have started out kind of hating each other, but there is an attraction between them, as well as a sense of trust. They are shocked at the secrets they find and what his father has been doing in secret all these years. Lies will be told to them, some to hurt them, some to protect them. Nothing they do is going to be safe, as they break down the wall of secrets in the search for the Sovereign and the possibility it could be Echo herself who could save them all. The only problem is that there is only one way to test if someone is the Sovereign and that is to have them stung by a queen bee, something that is deadly whether you are Immune or Vulnerable! They also find out personally, exactly how Adrenacure is made and where its main ingredient comes from, which is a scary time! Chase is back and with a bit part to play in this one, as does Flora to some extent. Young Makk is an interesting character and I hope to see more of him in the following stories. Clover is an annoying and deluded character, who believes herself in love with River and that grates as she clearly can’t think for herself or even see what is in front of her! Loads of danger and excitement in this one, as the action ramps up even more. I can’t wait to see what on Earth is going to happen next, as it left us on a bit of a cliff hanger! I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

“Hive Mind” takes on exactly where “Harvest” left on, with Echo and River trapped in the Hive after Oren’s betrayal. In the course of the story the real workings behind the societal split in Green/Dead zone and the truth about Immunity/Vulnerability become clear, as Echo and River unite forces with Chase and Flora to try to overcome the system, and find a true source of Immunity.
Tamar Sloan & Heidi Catherine, authors of the wide-acclaimed “Thaw Verse”, have with the “Sovereign Code” created a brand-new dystopian world, that is a great contender for an ex-quo place in the best dystopian verse of this decade after just two books in the series. Even if my heart belongs (and will always!!) to the “Thaw Verse”, I’m already making place for Echo, River, Flora, and the bees 😉.
Sloan & Catherine’s wonderful dystopian world, foreign yet familiar, beautiful, and terrifying captivates the reader at first read. Their fluid and nuanced writing conveys a powerful message, whose actuality plainly apparent. The extraordinary thoroughly built world is populated by well developed and multifaceted characters, credible and relatable at all times. YA fast-paced story, that provides action non-stop, an intelligent plot, and very satisfactory developments, a real page-turner, a great adventure that leaves a lasting impression without disregarding the level of pure entertainment every good story should provide. Beware though of some ‘side-effects’ as sleep-hours lost (should you start the book in the evening) and a brand-new appreciation for honey 😉
Sloan & Catherine dystopia effortlessly surpassed YA classical works as “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent”, even surpasses them offering not just very carefully crafted worlds, the right balance between dystopia and social critique, with a constant questioning of the values and drawbacks of the system that allows the reader to understand the strengths and flaws and find unsettling similarities to our own society and values.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐���⭐️
I love a good dystopian book and yet again Tamar Sloan and Heidi Catherine have written a great one. They're both on my favourite authors list and everytime I see another book is planned or I'm sent an ARC, I get so excited!
The pacing was so good, I finished reading in about 3 hours because I just couldn't put it down!
The characters were just as developed as they were in the first book and I still loved them all, even the side characters. They all have their own voices and personalities. Makk was such a cute character and I loved his energy. I'm intrigued about Nola, I think she definitely knew more than she let on and that she's left some more clues behind for River and Echo to find.
The world building was great. I liked how new places were discovered and explored which led to secrets being revealed. There are things that tie into the previous book and help make sense of different plot twists, although I did predict a couple of them new ones but that didn't stop me from enjoying them.
This book is a great addition to the series and I can't wait to read the next one!

This is the second book of what looks to be a 5 part saga.
The love story hinted at in Hive is beautifully developed, and the parallel love story of Flora and Chase comes to the fore.
The harvesting of adrenaline is depicted in a very gruelling manner, as is the hunt for the female who carries the 'sovereign' strain. However, to find out if that girl is the carrier, she must be stung by a Queenbee..... and some are forced into this situation.
The story follows the factions of the green zone and dead zone and how some want to fight, and some want to find a solution for all.... and some want to be the omnipotent cruel leaders.
Again, a cliffhanger of an end, but hope for the 4 main protagonists..... maybe finding a presumed dead person..... also a clue maybe why is the chair important....
I look forward to the next episode. Heidi and Tamar really know how to keep a reader enthralled.
I was given a free ARC by the authors, and I leave this review voluntarily. Thank you.

First, I must say that I love Tamar’s books! And the colaboration with Heidi for the Thaw series result in some great books!
So, only this and I was excited for this serie - on the start of the first book. But soon, their intriguing crafted world and complex characters hooked me. The end of the first book left me with a lot of questions and a damn cliffhanger, after such terrifying scene.
This book was the same - a thrilling story, with a lots of twists, some trully unexpected.
And the same wonderful main characters, with some new ones.
In this book, some answers were provided, but more are to come.
And can’t waitforthe next one! And the next. And the next…. Becouse I hope that this universe will develop and expand, and new stories will be written.

Super original
This series is basically the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner had a baby. It follows the journey of two teens from very different sections of the world, and the bees are deadly to humankind. One teen is safe, and the other has to work at surviving through the day. River and Echo form a reluctant partnership when faced with the differences between their worlds, and the reality that immunity could very well just be a social construct. I read the first two books of the five book series and as much as I enjoyed it, it wasn’t hitting “the spot” for me. I found the plot didn’t correspond well with the character development which rubbed me the wrong way. Some of it felt too rushed and as a result it was hard to enjoy the milestones of the slow burn. I would still recommend the series as it is super intriguing, and so original.

Hive mind is the second in the Harvest Day series. Where the last book left you on an intense cliffhanger I did find myself somewhat disappointed in the slower pace of the second book, but that aside I still enjoyed the next instillation of the book. The book focuses much less on the relationships of our main characters and more on uncovering the terrible secrets of the GreenZone , and the search for the sovereign who will provide all with immunity. Tensions run high as the GreenZone and DeadZone cross paths again and again in the battle for equality, food, and immunity. The book does leave you wanting to read the next in the series to continue on. I do wish maybe we got a little more of the thrill and passion of the first book, but I am keen to continue the series.

I want to like this book, it is well written, but there are a few plot lines that I am having a hard time getting through.
1) if they are putting something in the water to make them immune- why do they need the sovereign? Or the medicine?
2) why kill or forgotten the younger generation? Why only allow 2 people to be immune?
3) why mechanical bees??? That took me out. The whole time I am wondering who built them and why? And the main characters just accept it.
4) why aren't they trying to go after the medicine in the water to give to the deadborns?
These items took me out of this world and made it easy to put down

The search continues for the one that holds the key to immunity for all. Who will it be? IS it Eden? If it is, how are they going to find out when her and River are a little 'stuck' at the moment.
This one brings some revelations and also I STILL don't have a theory I've had since book 1 proven or NOT. UGH.... I won't share here, but if you know what I'm thinking, I think we'll get our answer in book 3.
There's loss, rebellion, friends become more, and family ties get tested slightly.

OH MY GOD!
That was absolutely incredible from start to finish.
The shocks, the twists, the turns, the emotions… I’m still reeling. Also, that ending! Omg these authors know how to make you need to grab the next book immediately. This series is one of those series where you are still thinking about it when you’re not reading it. Where you connect with the characters and feel like they are your friends. I am so grateful I have the whole set so I can start reading the next one. I could not put this book down which is evident in the fact that it’s now past 12:30am haha

The overall idea for this series is an interesting one; dystopian setting with a dash of sci-fi, deadly bees, those people that are up to no good causing problems, all fun stuff! This one continues the story from the first book, so I’d definitely start with the first book. Just an entertaining world with entertaining characters. Looking forward to the next one!
March 1, 2023
Book two and the story is really getting good! The storyline is getting exciting, the characters are really growing and developing in this YA dystopian style read. The world building continues to enthral and draws you in and the twists and turns will have you glued t9 the pages and on the edge of your seat as the journey carries on. I am so looking forward to the next book.

this was another strong sequel in the Sovereign series, it had a strong concept and I enjoyed how much I enjoyed this series. I've been a fan of Tamar Sloan for a while and I've enjoyed how good this was with the first book. I can't wait to read more from this series and from the author.

2,5/5⭐️
Ik vind het bijzonder hoe weinig er gebeurd in het boek, maar dat het toch bijna 300 blz kan zijn. Deel 1 vond ik nog best goed, maar dit deel was echt een beetje uitgerekt. Ik denk oprecht dat alle 5 de boeken in 1 boek hadden gekund en dan was het gewoon een lang boek geweest.
Ik ga de rest van de serie dus ook niet lezen...

Excellent read! Devoured in just a few days. Can’t wait to read more. Surely, fans of young adult dystopian will appreciate this. Mystery, anger, a bit of romance but not too much. Great all around.

This is an interesting book. Not one that I would normally read but thought I would try something new. It was hard for me to get into the story. As I got to the middle it started getting my attention more.

All the feels for this second instalment in this terrifying Dystopian world that is anything but sweet as honey! This is such a gripping series with great characters and twists and turns that really keep you on your toes. The dynamic duo, Catherine and Sloan continue to pull it out the bag!
