A fantastic read that had me turning the pages eager to see what happened next! Listen it started off kind of slow and rocky and I was worried I wouldn't like it (A bit heavy on the prose in the beginning) But WOW did this book pick up! If it wasn't for the somewhat awk start I would have given it 4.5 stars, but either way this is a must read book for sure! It's like Hunger Games, very dystopian and with the one class being very powerful and rich as opposed to "Renters" who struggle to survive. So yes Hunger Games but more diverse and with creatures! By the end of the novel I was reading as fast I could, my heart pounding wondering if Koral (the main charater) would survive or not. (May I just say I also *love* the book cover!) This is the debut novel for the author, and I can't wait to see what she writes next!
