I bought this book in middle school and never got around to reading it until now. I came in with low expectations but it was an easy read and an intriguing commentary on male vs female dominated societies. The incentives and mission were well-laid out but the plot and characters lacked slightly for me. but the PLOT TWIST at the end?! it was the most enjoyable aspect of the book and im kind of tempted to continue

If you like the Hunger Games and Divergent, this is an excellent read alike for you.
What happens if the world is divided into two factions? Matrus, where women rule and men are subservient, and Patrus, where men rule and women are subservient, are at odds with each other. Our main character Violet has grown up in Matrus and has had a few two many run ins with the authorities there, after the last incident of possible womanslaughter, she is offered a choice: go undercover to Patrus to retrieve an item that was stolen from them, or be executed. Violet's arrival in Patrus sets off a plot to steal back the item, but along the way she finds love with someone that should be her enemy. Excellent plot twist at the end that definitely made me want to read more of this story, as it appears that it will be a series from the way the ending is written. Strong female vs male tension that builds from a simmer to a boil. Highly entertaining and looking forward to the next installment!

Absolutely loved this. The new world and adventures from both sides. I can't wait to start book 2. If you like The Hunger Games, Divergent, new world, end of the world you will enjoy this series.
Slow to start and get into. Found myself reading other books after starting it, so it wasn't gripping enough for me. Got me hooked right at the end, am currently on the second book now.

The premise started well, but I was quite disappointed that it took and ugly turn about three fourths of the way through the book. I will not read the remainder of the series.
