**I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.** 
 All White Frost has ever known is her Colony, and that she must always remain unseen, unheard, and never draw the attention of the Creators. She longs for more than her small room, and her isolated world; she wants to see the sky, clouds, the moon, a rainbow, even though she doesn't know what any of these things actually are- she only knows the words from the poems that her cousin brings back to her when he and the other "Chosen Ones" venture into the Outside. Only those who are Chosen have the honor of going outside; the others, like White, live in the dark, with only the Scriptures of her kind to look to for answers, and that's not enough for White. She knows something is up- and when a tragedy rocks her small world she will have to determine just how far she'll go for answers. 
 If theres one word I would use to describe this book it would be "potential". This story has crazy potential. I wasn't sure what I was in for when I first started reading it, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I NEVER would have guessed the plot twist in this book- the real difference between White and the "Creators". It took me a minute to catch on and I had to reread the same part a couple times to understand, but I was very impressed when I figured it out. 
 The story was good overall, but I think that the dialogue was longwinded at times and could have been often settled more quickly. Sometimes the same conversation would go on for pages with a bunch of back and forth, making no actual plot progression. 
 I thought the characters were developed nicely, though there room for more fleshing out for each of them. White got on my nerves a lot because she was so indecisive about every little thing, and how she constantly talked over Kes and was stubborn to the point of ignorance. I really loved Kes, and I would love to have learned more about Shade and Salt; what each of them were actually like, what really drove each of them. It was explained, but I would have loved more detail, which brings me to my next point- 
 **SPOILERS AHEAD** 
 DETAILS!!! I wanted details! There's this entire underground world and it was barely explained! I wanted descriptions- of the place itself, how it was actually situated in the abandoned building, the colony life, the regular routine there, the Forgotten Ones experiments and how all of that worked and how colonies of these people came to be, I could go on. All of these things were touched on, but not nearly enough to where I fully understood how their little Colony worked. I just wanted things to be more fleshed out. 
 I felt like while there was plot progression, the story didn't really go anywhere. I was expecting Kes to do some research and find some doctors or scientists that were still interested or invested in the Forgotten Ones and who might know a way to reverse what had been done to White. I thought the story was going to take a turn for "how can we find a way to reverse what happened to White?" I was envisioning a road trip, meeting with scientists, the slow but sure convincing of the other Forgotten Ones, and a way to acclimate them to actual society. Now, I am by no means saying I didn't enjoy what actually happened- I liked the direction the author took with her story because it took me by surprise and I liked what happened with it, but I think the ending left something to be desired. I still have a lot of questions. I mean, what does the future look like for Kes and White? Continual back and forth between her new colony and his apartment? Their relationship definitely isn't normal, but I wonder if it's even plausible? I don't know. I just want a happy ending for them and I worry that because of their impossible circumstances that can't happen, but I'm a big believer in taking a leap of faith, so that's what I'll do. 
 Overall I really enjoyed this book. The idea was original, and the delivery was good! I think there is room for improvement, but I'm very impressed. I would love to read more about White and Kes, maybe even with the possibility that one day they could be the same size! Who knows? I just want them to have everything, and the fact that I feel that attached to them really speaks about how much I liked this book.
