mchaese's review against another edition
5.0
Very original take on the power of women. Trevena's story has all the accents of a bottle of medicine, sharp, sinister and sometimes scary, and her ability to portray the mind of a woman through revolution goes unmatched. I would recommend this book to anyone.

3.0
This dark tale draws you in and holds you even though, sometimes, you want to turn away from the horror of their everyday lives.
Even though there are many terrible events and violence that take place in this world so unlike ours I feel hope for the citizens that are mistreated and abused. That hope is generated by hints dropped throughout - something huge is going happen to change their way of life. The many twists, turns and shockers made for a compelling read.
There were quite a few unanswered questions in my mind. I suppose that is to be expected in a series and I do plan to read the second book.
