Let me start off by saying that I’m such a sucker for these types of books. Give me a book with a Dystopian society and a tortured romance and I likely won’t be able to put it down.
To be honest, this book was nothing special when I really think about it. The writing is a bit immature and I’ve read similar stories. The world-building wasn’t very good (I don’t have a clear idea of this world even after finishing the book and I don’t know where these ruined people came from or how they got their powers – are they human or no?) and the characters could have been more developed.
BUT I was so captivated by the story and the romance and the suspense and action that I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t want to put it down, in fact. It’s definitely not perfect and I can find a lot of reasons why I shouldn’t like it (and I’m sure many people will), but I don’t care because I was completely pulled into it. I will read the sequel as well.
