I've had this boom sitting on my shelf for ages not sure if it was worth reading but my god I was wrong. I tend to read a lot of books with a dystopian setting some good some great and some just terrible. let's just say I was a lot more than just happy when I read this book. first we have a strong female lead who is literally better than everyone else. then you the fact that she is driven by revenge or justice and not the usual and cliche guy. of course where were a few scenes in the book the were definitely all lovey dovey but it worked for the most part. there was also a lot of sacrifice for a cause that really made me sympathise with the characters such as John pretending to be day and June turning her back on the whole republic. June wasn't following and guy that she fell for she was looking for justice for her brother and followed wherever that led her. I can really feel the character development from someone young, naive, ignorant and arrogant to a girl who knows what she is has a o do to achieve her goal and does what's just and right along the way. I cannot wait to finish the rest of the series.
