This book was a huge disappointment. SO many things could have happened but in the end it was one useless circle of pain. Truthfully the author could have done so much more.

I enjoyed this book, but truthfully it was my least favorite of the three. Sever was so much more entertaining! I think this thread agrees that Gabriel has little to no personality, which I am standing by, but I enjoyed the carnival and the life that Madame was trying to bring back into the world.
I think the point in Maddie is to make a statement about how the world is out to get her, no one seems to like/care about her except for her mother until Rhine comes in. Rhine takes care of her after they escape the carnival like she was her own child. If you dig a little into it, Maddie could also represent how disabled people feel like today, but that requires brainwork and I don't feel like that.
Yes this book was slow moving and it took me a while to get through. However, I feel that it set the plot up really well for the third book. These things needed to happen somewhere in the storyline for the series to conclude as well as I feel it did in the third book. This series, from the start, did not say to me that it was going to be an action-packed 'lets run around and save the world in 30 minutes', so those that complain about the series being slow, you were warned in the first book.
Rhine's world is a useless circle of pain. The point of that was so Vaughn could make her feel free, and then prove that she never was in the first place. His point was that Rhine belongs to him and no matter how far she runs or where ever she hides, he will find her.
Overall, I liked it though.
These are my opinions, if you disagree please respond and keep the conversation going! If I sound snappy please slap me because I don't mean to.
I can't believe Linden died just like that!
I like this book, different from all dystopians I read. A little scary and mysterious too :))
I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the twist at the end with the June Beans. I did not see that coming. I have the third book to read but I have a book that is due in 3 days at the library so I'm reading that first. But I am dying to read the final installment to see how this all comes together.
I hated reading how horrible the world was for them. With all the child prostitution, and polygamy, not to forget that half the united states as we know it is under water now, so sad.
One thing that itches my brain, remember during a memory scene Rhine was talking about how her mother told her she will survive her brother? And then later over hearing her parents saying they are too young to know the truth? I suspect her parents engineered them, maybe not even biologically theirs to be immune to the disease. I mean they did work at labs, they took care of children, they were scientist's, it could happen right?
I've like this story but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of details but this is a good writer. Rhine should not have left in the first place.She doesn't care about people who are beyond her view at the moment. I'm getting a big feel at the questions I've asked from the start won't be fully answered. But this book explained more about the world that was very nice. I expect a lot for the third book to make this a trilogy to cherish.
