It took me a while to get into this book but it was good. It starts off with Rachel's father being pronounced dead and Logan being announced as her protector. Logan also happens to be the guy she professed her love for two years ago and who rejected her. Anyway, she's certain that her father really is alive out there in the wasteland somewhere and intends to find him. 
 Rachel is a pretty cool protaganist and liked her a lot. She is pretty impulsive and reckless and sometimes just plain stupid, but you can really see why she does all those things and its because she loved her dad and logan. She is also the most kickass girl in their city, being able to fight and kick butt, and made for an awesome action heroine. Later on, however, i thought she became too brutal, killing people which made her a bit less likable and unrelatable for me. 
 Logan is smart, thoughtful and protective. He's kinda opposite of rachel, as he is always calm and collected, and thinks everything through before launching into anything. Logan has known Rachel for years and always admired her but initially feels a little awkward around her. However, they soon become close and start to develop feelings for each other. Unfortunately, i have to say that i didnt feel the chemistry between them. It was too dry and bit forced for me. Their scenes didnt make me swoon or anxiously wait for the moment they finally get together. This made the book a little less enoyable for me. 
 The commander is a total dick, bastard, and a perfect villain. He is calculative, manipulative and toatlly evil. He is the kind of person that makes you wanna give him a slow painful death. I was rooting the whole time for Rachel to take him out but knew it wouldnt be resolved in this book. I found their world a bit annoying and it was kinda sexist, girls needing protectors and not being able to chose who they marry but it wasnt that important. 
 The story is good with lots of action and some twists and turns. At first, i couldnt get into it, but in the second half, i started to enjoy it more and wanted to find out the rest. The story dragged on a little for me 
 but was overall good.
