Could this be classified as Science Fiction, or is it just fantasy?
Often the lines of Sci-Fi and fantasy blur. More people classify this as fantasy but there are some who classify it as Sci Fi - dystopia. I personally say if you feel it works I am OK with it. We have a short challenge this time so the idea is to read as many different genre's as you can. Hopefully a few books will take you out of what you normally read.

I was pretty disappointed with this book. :(
Updated post #14.
OK I am a sucker for these challenges even though I am often torn between books " I want to read" and books that "fit the challenge" I just can't seem to pass the challenge up though. That being said I have finished this challenge! I choose books that I already own from different genre's. I also targeted books that were not ultra long (between 2-350 pages for most) because it was a shorter time to complete the challenge. My list of books and dates finished are shown in post #4. The highlight of this challenge was
which was on my TBR list for awhile and the 1st read. Great book!! The low point was
which was a free book I picked up and was just eh. It was the last book I read.Good luck on chipping away on your individual challenges. Happy reading!

I thought it was well themed, even if the romance was too heavy. And that cliffhanger of an ending!
*I do agree the first book in the series was much better.

I did! My school's librarian recommended it, and I'm glad to have taken the advice.
