** spoiler alert ** 
 If anyone says this book is similar to Red Queen, they either have not read both books or they are lying!! Yes it's about color hierarchies but the premises are so different. 
 The writing style was a bit hard to get into but I guess you kind of get use to it as you progress. There are definitely a lot of unpredictable moments. I really like the character development of Darrow in which he realizes that he needs to do something for the lowColors; for 'his' people. We learn a bit about the other colors and what they do.

 I was kind of glad that there wasn't any cliche romance developing besides the love that Darrow has for Eo and maybe potentially Mustang? I didn't really care for another triangle romance. I was actually quite surprised that Mustang didn't betray him. My absolute favorite part has to be when Darrow asks to take the same punishment as Tactus.
