Not entirely logical, but fun. Like The Da Vinci Code starring cute teenagers.
Update: Fun the second time around too! I love how Julia Whelan does Stellan's accent.

This was fun like candy. Not very filling but you can't stop, you have to keep going until there's none left.
I'll probably read the sequel, but I won't fee robbed of conclusion if I don't get around to it.

I really, really liked this novel!
Definitely one for the Ally Carter fans out there.
This novel surprised me. It looked good, but I thought it wouldn't deliver. It totally delivered. I thought it was just going to be another teenaged book that would end up annoying me. It wasn't.
I thought that I was going to hate the romance and that there was going to be a love triangle and it would ruin my night. Yet, it didn't. I found that there really wasn't a love triangle. There was a romance, and then an understanding. I thought that Avery had more of an understanding with one of the guys and then the romance with the other one. I really liked that Hall didn't put us through the agony of a love triangle.
I also loved that Hall gave us enough information. We learned everything we needed to learn about the puzzle, prophecy, and the unwanted destiny. It made us think without having to think because we were led through the thinking by Avery (did that sentence make any sense?).
A lot of this novel was plot and action and treasure hunting, but Hall did a great job of slipping in the character development. We learn more about Jack, Stellan and Avery as we go through the the whole treasure and figuring out what is going on. There was enough character development to warrant interest in the characters and who they. I know that I want to know more about each character as the story goes on. I also think that we learn some of the most important stuff about them.
A strong first novel. I look forward to what Hall has in store for us! If you liked Ally Carter's novels, then you NEED to check out this novel. Definitely lived up to its hype for me!

This was so much fun! It had all the elements of adventure movies that I love wrapped into a book. It was a thrilling, fast-paced story about a secret society and an ancient prophecy that ties back to Alexander the Great.
I definitely recommend this for people who like movies such as National Treasure and The Mummy.

SO MUCH FUN.
I had so much fun reading this book and sometimes, that is all I care about when reading a book. I really enjoyed this book.
Avery finds an unique world within the Circle, filled with political drama. The main start of this book is about discovering the secrets of the Circle and fighting off the opposing families. They are the most powerful people in the world and control everything from politics to sports.
This book felt very much like an Ally Carter novel – lots of fun destinations (Paris! Istanbul!), cute boys, and high packed drama/mystery. I was always involved with what would happen next and it kept me on my toes. There also weren’t any straight paths to anything. One clue would lead to another clue and so on. It kept the action interesting. There are two groups that are interested in what Avery and Jack are after, so that added intensity also keeps everything moving along. Many scenes are filled with narrow escapes and spy tactics in order to get what they want.
Avery was a really strong character. I liked her the most because of her relationships with her mother and the people that she met along her many moves around the country. It was really sad and it made me connect with Avery. Even though this is a kind of common trope, I connected with Avery because I believed it. She wasn’t just saying it, but she was acting it too. Her relationships with both boys also added to her character and I liked knowing her through her relationships – something very common with real people and not just characters.
The romance in this book is really sweet. There is kind of a love triangle, but it’s not the most important part of the story and it’s pretty clear that Avery only feels for one side (compare to Sweet Evil). Anyway, Avery and Jack could even be considered insta-love. But I felt for them too. There is a passage in this book that talks about how relationships develop faster in high intensity situations, and I completely agree. Also, they knew each other for a while before the book began. Don’t worry though – no crazy declarations of love! I totally ship Avery and Jack, although I’m nervous about the cliffhanger.
Overall, I found this book so much fun! I loved every page of it. I can’t wait for the sequel and this was one of my favorite books of the year so far.

This book was won on goodreads giveaways.
I really enjoyed this book. I was thankful for a book I could sit back and enjoy. I love when I get so engaged I can't put it down. This book was full of excitement right from the beginning. The story line was a bit predictable though. I wouldn't say this book is for anyone but if you like YA suspense/ mystery/romance type books, I would say give it a shot :)

3.5 Stars!
Well this was surprisingly addictive! A fast paced story full of secret societies, dangerous lies, and the atmosphere of an adventure movie!

I gave up after 17 chapters of "special" heroine + broody boys with accents + love triangle that overshadows everything.
Myslím, že dnes by som tomu dala o tú polhviezdičku menej, ale tak v podstate som si čítanie užila rovnako ako po prvýkrát. :)

Autorke odpúšťam tú hlavnú hrdinku, ktorá sa hodí okolo krku chlalanovi, ktorý ju v podstate unesie; dokonca zabudnem aj na to, ako rýchlo odpúšťa a medzitým zabudnem aj na toho Rusa, lebo očividne podobný príbeh proste jedného potreboval... Ale! Toto bola fakt skvelá kniha, veľmi dobre vymyslená zápletka, prepracovaná do detailov. Väčšinou podobné veci pozerám v telke, ale toto bolo oveľa lepšie.

A teraz som si spomenula, že mám v počítači stiahnutý seriál, ktorý je tiež o organizácii, ktorá riadi svet, takže už viem, čo budem pozerať večer :D
