I have read this book about 4 times now. And every time I enjoy it so much. There is something this book have that I like so much, that I don???t see in so many books I have read. And actual smart character. So many main character always have the ???smart??? characteristics, as if the is the only important or good thing people can be. And yet in the story they overlook so much and make so many stupid decisions. It makes it hard to read. But in this book Cia really is extremely clever.
Another thing great about this is that the romance part of the story isn???t awkward or forced or feel at all like it shouldn???t be there. It???s weaved through the story so naturally that I really didn???t mind it. I really love this book and will probably read it more times in the future.
DNF @ 50%.
I went in knowing it would be a palette cleanser but it was really hard to care about anything.
Less wordy/scifi version of Red Rising, hints of Hunger Game, and something else. I adore this book and am so ready to reading the next one. MC was a little sharper than most people would be, but hey.. Ill take it. I wish we had Internet so I could post full reviews. Typing on the phone blows. /ramble
A more grounded slightly more believable Hunger Games. Can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
