Did not have enough time on the loan from the library. I had to turn it in.

Many, many fight scenes. A lot of sexual innuendos...

especially when Ten is in the asylum, and also when she is around Killian.

I really recommend this book it grips you quickly and you just don’t want to put it down. I really relate to the main character Ten she’s indecisive and impulsive. The way the plot twists and turns makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens. The book keeps you guessing until the end, it literally the last paragraph at the end that the realm which Ten picks is revealed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a dystopian book with a spiritual twist.
