I really love this book! I couldn't have said it any better: 
 The easiest way to control people is to make them think they're defective--but that only works until they realize they're not.

 I rarely read books with a female lead, because they tend to be too girly and full of drama, but this was one of the exceptions. I was intrigued from the first chapter. 
 Em--seriously, is her name really just Em?--is a great character. Her name's a mystery though :) She isn't your typical girly character, but she's a girl nonetheless. Rogue knows what I mean ;) She's very smart and strong. To think she lived her life so long being considered ungifted--a disappointment to the Fuller family. She waited everyday for a sign of her gift. To reassure herself. Then to realize she's being suppressed of her gifts because of fear and politics. 
 Rogue, I had respect for this dude from the moment I met him. He and Em working together is quite something. They click. He's building a farm, he loves animals and she loves agriculture. 
 At first I didn't like Zach. He seemed too loyal to the system. He seemed to be too into the President's speeches. You know like one of those characters who would do anything, even betray a close friend because of some written rules. I eventually got to like him. He's pretty strong and smart. I mean President Vider is able to persuade a lot of people, but not him. Plus I think he'll be the brain of the rebellion--the tactician. 
 Don't even get me started about Nona, she and Em together are true lionesses. She's a tough one. 
 Tutu, oh Tutu. She's the grandmother that everyone wished they had. 
 Chief Fuller, Dee and Lyza, well what will we do without characters like these that makes us stronger. To think they could treat their own blood the way they do. I also find it hard to believe that Chief Fuller, a mind reader doesn't know that his wife isn't pure-blooded. 
 Should also mention that intense moment between Ren and Lyza. I like Ren. He saw firsthand how Lyza treats Em. He's quite a character too. It would be great to have him on the resistance side. 
 I really like these characters, regardless of how evil some are--let's be honest, that vampire President Vider is evil. Look at how he's able to persuade almost the entire valley with his selfish and devious idea of growth and protection. He's a wolf disguised as sheep dog. His gifts are trouble. I was quite shocked to learn that he perform such painful procedures on the Middling babies. To quell the possibility of a rebellion is his reasoning. 
 It should also be said that Dream Traveling is a dangerous ability; it's powerful, but risky. To be able to travel to any moment and time by just thinking of it... now that's quite an ability. 
 Those final moments were something. Both vampire Vider and Chief Fuller witnessed how powerful Em is. 
 I hope she doesn't make the death of Maurice haunt her. 
 I thought something terrible was going to happen to Rogue. Luckily, they made it out alright.

 This was a great read. 
 Sarah made us feel for the characters. Especially when Rogue discovered that the first child that died was connected to him, and also the times when he convulses. 
 So, I am a bit biased, only talking referring to Rogue - so what!? 
 Rebels' next.
