I'm torn between 4 &5, but I REALLY liked it, so I'll round up. ;)This reminded me a bit of Hunger Games, though perhaps it was really the dystopian theme that did it. World building was outstanding, the story mostly flowed well - (toward the climax, events seemed a bit abrupt, and it took me a few pages to realize that I was headed into the climax already - though that may be more indicative that I wanted the story to be longer, rather than already near the end, lol). I LOVED the hero, liked the heroine (par for me), and got attached to some of the secondary characters enough to tear up a couple of times.Recommended for YA Dystopian fans. :)
HJL Reviews and Musings
I have a book addiction that began with Nancy Drew in kindergarten. I've read pretty much all genres, to exclude non-fiction because I love to read for the escapism. I only review books that I feel strongly about, whether for good or bad. I think of truthful, honest, reviews as being there as a 'pay-it-forward' for others.
