3.5 stars might be more accurate, I didn’t enjoy this as much as the original trilogy. However, it does seem poised to improve in the following books. The groundwork has been laid and I’m looking forward to more. (Not to mention, there must be a reason this is set in the same universe and not as a stand-alone new series, I’m eager to discover the connection.)

I was nervous but also very excited to read Imposters as a huge fan of the Uglies series growing up.
Scott Westerfeld did a great job of building on the world that he created in the original series and I enjoyed the little references to the Uglies series. It was a fun dystopian fantasy romance.

I both love and hate you Mr. Westerfeld. Thank you for giving me another Uglies novel. However, that cliffhanger ending was not fair at all. And of course I now have to wait till September for the next one. Grrrrr.

It's been a long time since I read the Uglies series but it was so easy and fun to jump back into this world. The book did seem a little choppy at points with the time jumps and Im not at all invested in the "love story" but I'm so invested it this coup plot! Gimme the next one!
Okay so after listening to this book, I just realized that this is a spin off series from the uglies. Which is a series I just started.. so this is awkward.
Impostors was still an enjoyable book. In it, you will meet Frey and you get to know about her secret life. She's a twin but the one that stays in the shadows mostly. She knows how to kill while Rafia, is the heir to the family. Seems like a pretty crappy deal if you ask me. For some really stupid reason, their dad sends Frey to a rival city where she is to be a hostage.
She's pretending to be Rafia in this little hostage scenario which kind of ends up being bittersweet. Mostly because of Col, who she ends up getting kind of close to. Close enough where she starts to freak out about him finding out her truth.
I loved Frey so freaking much. I hated how she wasn't really loved by her father because of Rafia and everything. Then there's her whole loyalty to her sister, which sometimes rubbed me the wrong way. Frey just deserved better in my eyes and that's all I really wanted for her!
Overall, this book was pretty interesting and it's made me want to dive back into the uglies series. I can't wait for the second book of this series to come out because that little cliffhanger annoyed me. I need more!
