Despite the fact that this is yet another dystopian society novel, I was hooked, no, completely enthralled through its entirety. Well done Terry Terri!

An awesome dystopian series, but is still unique. Most new dystopian trilogies are all basically the same, but this one has its own twists and unique aspects that really make it outstanding. I HIGHLY recommended it.
