Wow; I finished this in one sitting what a fabulous book. I loved every second of it; without giving any spoilers all I will say is if you haven’t read it you must do so… 
The characters, the twists, the plot, I loved them all some I hated obviously but I loved that I hated them…  
I cannot wait to see where the rest of this series goes, so onto book 2

The premise of this book was very interesting but it just didn't do it for me. There wasn't anything about it that wowed me and I felt like every twist had been done before.

The brother isn't dead. The radioactive area is actually safe and where the rebels are. The girl who fell into being chosen isn't alone in her specialness.

And I'm not sure if the whole red/silver thing is supposed to be a metaphor but if it was... It was poorly executed.
