I've been meaning to read this book for ages...and it's just been sitting on my shelf waiting patiently. Welp last night I finally decided to crack it open...and ended up having to force myself to go to sleep and finish it today.

Juliette is such a broken girl who's been mistreated and ostracized for things that are out of her control. In a dystopian world where her powers could tip the balance in any direction...there are those out there that want her by their side.

This was such a fun read I can't wait to dive into the rest of the trilogy and see where it leads us!

Lots of promise. I really enjoyed the author’s writing. Very descriptive and lots of poetic imagery. Probably not for everyone but I liked it. Story ended up being a kind of generic dystopian novel. Maybe I’ll read the next if I’m in between books but I’m not running to download book 2.
