“Trying to climb over into someplace where Ky might be. And even if he's not there, I'll find him. I'll go over again and again until I've finally crossed to where he is.”
Ky has been sent away and Cassia is determined to find Ky and to reunite with him. The first book only had one point of view, but this book has two different POVs: Cassia and Ky’s. For someone who has had a very easy life in the Society, Cassia experiences many hardships and finds out many ugly truths in her journey to find Ky. We also find out what the blue tablet does! And what is Xander hiding....?
Overall, a great second book!
The only thing that made me sad is that Cassia and Ky had to split up again at the end of the book.

I think the thing that stuck out to me most about this book was the style of writing. It's hard to describe Condie's writing but to put it simply it feels like this book is written in the style of a poem, with all of the metaphores and hidden meanings. This was shown especially in Ky's POV with him telling his past. Anyways this book was a nice read and felt nice and thought out.

I liked it, but I just loved the first one so much, that it was hard to match up to. There was one place where the dword showed up, but nothing more. It does have more violence to it, but it's not descriptive or gory.
