Reading for the 2nd time. Most recently started July 29, 2022.

Book 19/100 for 2015

UPDATE: Giving it 3 stars because it's only been three months and I've already forgotten everything about this book. I enjoyed reading it, but it was so similar to many other YA books that it's not memorable.

WOAH. That was an intense book and I really enjoyed it! I am a sucker for superpowers and this book had such a cool variety of them! I was so into this book that I stayed up very, very late two nights in a row so I could see what happened next. It was a little predictable at times and I can see why people say that it's really similar plot-wise to a couple of other books, but I still liked it very much! I just want a little more world building and a little more romance (I'm always going to vote for more romance, to be honest), but I'm almost positive that that will all happen in the next book!
Also, I really want a map for the world! I feel like that would be such a cool addition to the book.

What other novels was this a lot like for you?


❀Marbe❀ At her book tour she said that on her second book we will have a map. Also a lot more of the world build since the book will be take place in a couple of different places.

message 13: by Amy (new) - rated it 3 stars

Amy I agree with the memorable comment so much! It's been a few months since I read this and I honestly cannot remember what happened. I literally read your review just then and remembered they had superpowers. It completely slipped my mind! Definitely not the best YA book out there, but at the same time it wasn't completely dreadful!


Tyson Ouellette im dying to read this

Just started reading... OMG SO GOOD


Raven Black It was def a long read for me, the longest book I've ever read.


message 18: by Lily (new)

Lily McG The book was exciting and eventful, with lots of twists occurring all over the place. The book is a great mix of lots of famous dystopian books like The Hunger Game ect.... I would definitely recommend to people who love a good dystopian book.
