Wow, I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure what to expect because, for ARC's I don't usually read the summaries.... just in case I get wrong ideas before I even start. So I just jumper right into it and I was just hooked. The book was so addictive! it was so easy to enter Charlie's world, a world in which, depending on the language you speak, the class you belong to. So when her city is under attack and she has to leave her home, she discovers a secret that will change everything; also, the

This is a dystopia that begins with a queen transferring her soul into a female heir which caught my attention quickly. Interesting.
Years later we meet Charlie, the nondescript protagonist that has secret gifts like understanding all the languages which separates the classes. We also meet her sister, Angelina, who doesn't speak but has gifts of her own. We are quickly introduced to Aron and Brook, Charlie's best friends and Sydney, an enemy. Hurry, quick, here are Charlie's parents. 'Nuff said.

This book annoyed me to great depths.
Honestly, I was seriously disappointed with this novel. I came in with such high hopes, the synopis was promising. Classes divided by languages. Sounds cool? Interesting? Unique? It is! Unfortunately, the other factors of the book overshadowed the awesome idea.

This was a different type of dystopian story than what I've read before. Where people are divided between the language they speak. There were a lot of surprises in the book that I hadn't seen coming. I for one, enjoyed the book, but I'm curious as to where the next one will pick up. It seemed that our characters lived happily ever after, but I'm guessing that won't always be the case.

Definitely one of my favorite book so far but i wouldn´t expect less from Kimberly Derting. Very good written and really compelling. I literally couldn´t stop reading the book. I just hope that there will be a next one. I want more from Max and Charlie, Aron and Brooke. :)
I would give this book 3.5 stars! A great start to a promising series!
2.5 stars.
