5.0

I received this book for an honest review from the publisher: Of Tomes.

So, this book is totally flawless.

Amazing storyline. Check.
Set in a Dystopian World. Check.
Perfect character development. Check.
Triven. Check.
Realistic Setting. Check.
Stunning New Cover. Check.
A Freaking Map. Check.
Tribe Info. Check.
Great Pace. Check.
Not only does it have these things, but the character development for ALL characters was great, and you find yourself believing that these characters might as well be sat in front of you right now.

The beautiful Tribe Info (I assume, from the diary mentioned?) at the start really allows you to have an idea of the setting before you even start.

TRIVEN. The best guy ever. My God, does he sound amazing. Why isn’t he real? Okay, so he is like if you put all your favourite guys into one, then scrapped that idea, because Triven was there instead. Kind, Caring, Understanding. Need I say more?

To be truly honest, I feel like I did need more Arden, seeing as he kinda dropped off after a while. Oh, and Maddox. What is going on with that guy? Bipolar. But great. Ish.

The pace of the book was perfect, fast enough for me to be hooked, but slow enough for me to take in the entire story.

One final thing, WHAT WAS THE ENDING? The next book comes out who knows when, and I’m sat here dying of emotions. Give me the next book. NOW. Oh, and the sneak peek at the end? Doesn’t help right now.
