Ok this book. I had high expectations because it was listed on a Goodreads Best Books list.
Right off the bat, I hated the character names. Mare Barrow? Bone Marrow.
All the way up to the 80% mark, I thought the plot was just another shabby dystopian society with a rebellion.
Aveyard has not one, not two, but THREE love interests. It's a love square, fam! Because Bone Marrow is just SOOO desirable and the hottest commodity on the market.
Bone Marrow's life sucked, but I never really felt any symp ...more

I read "Red Rising" this year, and I was not a huge fan. This book is extremely similar but has an X-Men-like, mid-evil setting twist to it. Yet its SO similar to "Red Rising" right off the bat. How similar, you ask? Let me borrow from a fellow reviewer who very succinctly laid it out:
Red Rising

- Caste society
- Low caste is Red
- MC is a Red
- High caste is Gold
- They have god-like powers
- MC infiltrates their ranks
- MC is key to the rebellion

A fast paced story from a teen girls voice, introducing an alternative world where survivors of catastrophic world events forge new kingdoms and fight new wars while oppressing vast groups of people deemed inferior; an ambitious world full of rivalry and agnst, treachery and unusual abilities.
I didn't think I would find another series that I liked as much as the Cinder series but I think this one will do it.
