A nice little twist near the end. This book continues the story of Frey, who is the most lovable character despite being told by everyone that her sister Rafi is the lovable one.

Wow!

What a sequel to a heart stopping first novel in this series. I couldn’t put this book down! Completely devoured it in a day! Going to buy the third book now!

The second book of the new series based in the Uglies universe was not as good as the first one. That said, however, it was enjoyable, and it had less refrences from the Uglies (thankfully). My main problem with the book was the main character, Frey. Even though she started as this strong, active, fearless youngster who was ready to kill her father and save her sister and the boy she loved, at times, like after the earthquake, she was like a kid, being told what to do and just doing it. I mean, where did her will and determination go? So, yes, I didn't enjoy Frey in this one as much as I did in the other book. However, the author does have loads of imagination and the action was quick and overall well paced. Plus, the whole world built was excellent. And, the twist I was waiting to happen from the previous one, cough cough the brother cough cough, kind of happened here, in a small way at least. And the twist with the feels was nice too and reminded me of Tally and her makeover back in the days. So, overall, because some parts of the book were a bit tiring, 3 out of 5 for this one.
