WHY.THE.HELL did I wait so long to read this??? There were so many surprises and wondering who to trust. I loved it as much as the first. Lots of action and although June and Day weren't physically together for like half the book, I was so anxious to see what would become of their romance and if they'd let the past come between them. And the new Elector Primo... I didn't know whether I could believe a word out of his mouth, but he seemed genuine, so I put my faith in him. The ending was great, but so sad at the same time because so much had been lost and just when you think it's all roses and rainbows, another blow comes. I'm interested to see what becomes of the Republic, June, and Day in the next book!!
