Holy amazingness. Here's what I thought:

1. At first, it's like being dropped into a sequel. The world isnt just explained right off the bat; you figure it out as time goes on, which is cool and very good world-building.
2. All the characters were highlighted, no matter how long they were in the book. I could give you a list of every character right now...but I won't.
3. June and Day were great lead characters. The whole thing played like a movie in my head. Very vivid, but not too descriptive to the point of boredom.
4. Unique writing style. Very different and refreshing, I appreciated how in this edition, June's chapters were a different color than Day's, it made it easier to remember who was speaking. Both narrators were equally interesting.
5. The plot is just fantastic. Thrilling, mysterious, fast-paced. Never a dull moment.
6. Took me back to reading Divergent and The Maze Runner, however, it was very unique on its own. Very good dystopian elements!
7. We need that sequel! Soon!

Alli Moore Yay!


Jimmy Good choice. I'm planning on reading it soon...


Tiernan I'm not very far. :/ reading has been slow lately.


Alli Moore Once you get about 25% into it, it picks up a lot.


Tiernan I'm trying to read this and A Million Suns at the same time. I have to finish them soon because I want to have them done when I meet Beth Revis and Marie Lu on the 15th.


Jimmy You're so lucky! By the way how is A Million Suns so far?, Cassidy or CassJayTuck on youtube said it was awesome but I'd like to know what you thought aswell.


Tiernan I was quite honestly bored with it for a while, but it's getting good now. Lots of plot twists. Have you read Across the Universe?


Jimmy No but I'm taking a trip to the book store this weekend, hoping to buy both books there. I've just been so busy studying for exams that I never had the chance. I am starting Divergent though.


Tiernan Cool! Enjoy.
