upon consideration/reflection, I've found that this book is definitely not a 5 star book. While the plot and characters were super engaging, it was COMPLETELY predictable. The 'plot twist' was something I had figured out like from the first few chapters and a lot of the character's were not developed nearly enough. This also felt like a mash-up of a lot of other YA books I have previously read.
It was, however, still a very fun and enjoyable read but not anything memorable or mind blowing. I like ...more

I really ejoyed this book! It was gripping and fun to read through. I really liked the characters and the plot. I enjoyed how the love triangle wasn't the main focus of the novel. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of similarities to other dystopian novels. The worldbuilding could have been better as well. If you haven't read this yet, I definitely recommend it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, with interesting characters and brilliant plot twists throughout (not just the one major one that everyone was talking about).

I feel as if the author couldn't decide whether she was writing a dystopian novel or a fantasy one. Either way, the book seem

I picked up and finsished this beauty yesterday. I absolutely loved the plot and the plottwist completely blew my mind. Like it came out of nowhere. For me, the only thing that kept this from being a 5 star read is the world building. I feel like there weren't enough details about the war that is going on and I would still like to know more about Norta. But even with that flaw, this is still one of my favorite reads of 2015. If you enjoyed The Hunger Games, The Selection, or if you love people w

I am absolutely bonkers for this book!! Read in one day!! It was so enticing and fast paced that I had no time to put it down. I loved Mare's personality yet I was a bit frustrated by her stance towards Cal. Cal and Maven were complete opposites yet I liked both of them (Cal of course I liked a bit more..). The book had twists and action. For once the Queen is more scary than the King that I liked! I can't wait for the next book and if it is as good as this one it definitely goes in the favorite
