I was expecting so much from this after hearing amazing things from pretty much everyone, but.... I didn't really like it. Overall, it was much too slow paced for me and I didn't love any of the characters. There was ONE character that I found interesting, and it wasn't Mare. I liked the idea of her - she was independent and took matters into her own hands when no one else would, plus she was pretty smart, but I didn't feel connected to her. The main issue I had with this book though, was that I felt like I had read it all before. I've read about most of the elements of the story plenty of times in other books. I constantly made comparisons to The Selection series. I did enjoy the action scenes and the concept of the Reds and Silvers. I did have some confusion in relation to their abilities, particularly about the extent they could use them to, if that made sense. I also found a few things to be predictable.
I've had a fairly strained relationship with dystopians recently, and I have to admit this book may have been the next victim of that.

I rely enjoyed this book. It is definitely one of my favorite reads from this year. Cal was totally my favorite!!!!! The concept was really interesting and that ending..... I hated him from the beginning so no big surprise.

I read this book last month, but forgot to post here! It was GREAT!! Completely shattered my expectations. I loved that it surprised me, and I really loved at the end (view spoiler)[when Mare shoved Maven's assumptions about her feelings back in his face by not only telling him she had thought he was better than his brother, but telling him he had once had her respect and affection. I LOVED that she didn't choose either of the boys-- she chose herself. (hide spoiler)]
