Mobi please. :)
I just finished reading this fantastic book! I don't know how to add a link to my review so i'll just put my review on here as well.4.5 stars
I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This book has surpassed all of my expectations and I loved each and every page and minute I read this fabulous book. People have compared this book to the Hunger Games....THIS BOOK IS SO MUCH BETTER! This book has become one of my favorite seriesThe world building is amazing and it seemed so real especially the characters. I love Lily and Xander! The other side characters are amazing too and it was great to see how an alliance/resistance was created due to Lily and Xander. The villains, and I mean villain(s) as is plural are freaky! One is just utterly scary while the other is crazy and power hungry. These villains added to the suspense and had me yell pletny of times at Xander and Lily to be careful and NOT DIE! This book had me hooked from the first pages. This book is filled with suspense, action, mystery, and all the other amazing things a book can have.
I love this book partly because I see myself in Lily - stubborn, intelligent, determined, never giving up, and proving people wrong. Each character is well rounded and the reader is able to get to personally know these characters and what shaped them to be who they are in the book at that time. The reader is also able to see these characters grow and they grow on you; you root for them and wish that you are in their world fighting along side them being resisters against City Prosper. I also love how the action was spaced throughout the book so that there was balance between action, world building, and background information. With all these parts, the reader is able to see the full picture and enjoy this great book. I also enjoyed the mystery behind the Outlands, the Edge, Abnormals, and Lily's power. Lily's power is intriguing to read about but also startling because her power is destructive and has a mind of its own referring to "the Mother." Does this mean, Mother Earth aka Gaea from Greek mythology? I'm very intersted in seeing how Lily's power is played out in the next installment of this series.
This book made me cheer, laugh, and go "holy crap, heck yeah!" The steampunk elements were also fabulous because new creations and gadgets are created incuding automatons, jetpacks, and field forces just to name a few. I love how Ladd used these steampunk elements and created a book that is amazing! I do wish there would have been more action but I'm not complaining. I can't wait to read the next installment especially with how it ended! Bridget Ladd, when you have the next book out, sign me up to review and read more of this great series!

Description
An improbable partnership. An unforgettable love.
Lily Emerson, daughter of the Head of Council and Mistress of Science, has lived a privileged life. It’s Lily’s 18th nameday, the day she is to follow in her mother’s footsteps, becoming the next Mistress of Science—the most powerful woman in all of City Prosper. The Architect and designer of Prosper’s future.
During the night of her Coronation, the corruption of the Council spreads before her . . . opening her eyes to the cruelty that resides in the Council, even within her own parents. Lily realizes now the title of Mistress only comes with superficial power, that to truly save the citizens—she has to fight.
Fight in the Barrage—the mechanical gladiatorial tournament in which one chosen pair of volunteers from each Sector fights, armor-clad and as a team, utilizing unique weapon specialties: the Gatling gun, the Cestus, Klaives, Crescent Knives, mechanically engineered beasts—in the hope to win the right to change the Law. A law that has remained unchanged since its creation almost eighty years ago.
The tournament that Xander, Engineering Blacksmith and Lily’s partner, believes she has no business being in.
But Lily’s different. And she sets out to prove just that.
If you’re a fan of adventure, fighting for survival, unlikely female heroines, and romance—then grab your copy today!
