REVIEW: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was never really sure what kind of book this was. On one hand, it was a very dystopian storyline, on the other hand, it could have been a science fiction book, and yet, it could have fit into its home genre of young adult fantasy. There wasn't enough in the book itself to push it towards any one genre.Normally in any book, there's always a mix of genres. I could easily handle a sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian book, look at Ender's Game, there's a perfect example. But, this book just left me with a sense of confusion and grappling for what was actually going on.
There were times when the author did a great job of describing characters and scenery. Then the relationships between the characters left much to be desired and seemed very two dimensional to me. I believe the only relationship that truly took on any life was the one between Ariana and Blue, and even then at times it seemed a little too contrived.
The book was an easy, quick read from what I've been immersing myself in lately, but I don't think I would re-read it.
