Definitely have some mixed feelings about this book.
This started out SO GOOD. I LOVED the whole idea about being divided by blood, and the silvers having these awesome powers, etc.. (I'm going to love any story involving awesome powers like this - The Darkest Minds trilogy, The Shatter Me trilogy, X-Men, etc...)
I loved (and hated) all the betrayal and the fact that you never really know who you can trust.. that ending. Man was I shocked...

Victoria Aveyard, you are PHENOMENAL. First of all, the writing in this novel was beautiful and fantastic -- not your typical YA lit. As I was reading, I kept feeling like this was real, like Mare's story really happened. (Think Henry VIII scandals and wife-rebellion.)

It took a little to get into, and the twists in the book weren't really twists in my opinion. But, I do have to say overall I really enjoyed this book and am excited to see where the author goes with it. All I can say at the end though is Kilorn= Gale and Cal= Peeta lol. Not so much in personality obviously, but in the fact that she's going to get with Kilorn, but probably end up with Cal. That's my prediction anyways
