I found this at the library as a recommendation for those of us who read/liked The Hunger Games trilogy. I enjoyed this book and I have the sequel all ready to go.
What I liked about it was similar to what I liked about the Hunger Games. This story features a strong female lead who isn't sex crazed but isn't emotionless either. She's loyal to her friends and family and if I had kids, I'd be happy to have them look to Nina as a role model.
However, this is a YA book so the writing is just kinda meh. Karr used the word nefarious though, which I feel is a bit of a vocab challenge for young readers so I will accept this book into my library.
Story was a bit predictable but it was better than the HG and Twilight. A pretty decent YA read.
