I was really going to stop reading this book but then I remembered I felt the same way when I read book 1 and really enjoyed the 2nd half. Sure enough, the book has really started to pick up. I just think the author has weak starts to her books.

I'm taking a mini-YA book break. If I keep rolling my eyes this much, I'm afraid they'll get stuck in the back of my head!

You know what is one great feature about reading book 2 in UF's and dystopian books? The world building is already done! Well, apparently not. I've read 23% of nothing. Really. No real story yet since we gotta rebuild the world where Gaia is now. So new camp, some weird illness, men with interesting body parts, dictator woman, outcast hoochies & of course, potential lovvvvveee interest.

hmmm... so if everyone that leaves dies for some reason, how did the guy get out, he was obviously gone for a couple days when he found her. Why didn't he die? Just notes to myself. Trying not to use spoilers either.

I gave bk 1 only 3 stars (not great but ok), I'm usually very rough on dystopian YA books, and I'm even harder on the 2nd book in a series. If this book keeps my interest, it will be a miracle (and I'll be very happy)!
