In a distant future, eighteen-year-old Lugh is kidnapped, and while his twin sister Saba and nine-year-old Emmi are trailing him across bleak Sandsea they are captured, too, and taken to brutal Hopetown, where Saba is forced to be a cage fighter until new friends help plan an escape.

This was a great book, I picked it up because it was the #1 seller at a store in the London airport, and it certainly did not disappoint! At first, I didn't like Saba, but she and I bonded when she 1st entered the Cage, and I was attached to her from there on out. The style of writing threw me at first too, but I'm so glad I stuck it out.
I truly look forward to reading the sequel.
I'm feeling like there's just so many dystopian books I can't keep them straight. This one has a sense of humor and very lovable characters. Not a bad read, but it feels a little redundant.
This book was such a suprise! It is written in a southern english/different writing/spelling. Example Quote: “I never knew that missin somebody could hurt, I says. But it does. Deep inside. Like it's in my bones. We ain't never bin apart till now. Never. I dunno how to be without him. It's like... I ain't nuthin.”-Saba (MC)
It also does not use “ or Italics for speach and thoughts. (You still completly understand the book though.)
My biggest fav is the main guy, Jack. He is so awesome!!! I just loved him as the side guy. They had an enemy to lovers like relashionship.
It felt a bit long in some spots as they did the world building and charecter intros.
Over all, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!
Ages: 15+ (in my christian girl opinion)
