Actual rating- 4.5 
 Oh my gosh!!! This book was amazing! It was a little rough to get into though (I feel like I say this with every book I read), but as soon as it got rolling, it was so hard to put down. It reminded me of a lot of books though and one movie, a.k.a X-Men. I thought it was so fantastic and it had wonderful twists. (view spoiler)[As soon as the scene where Mare and her dad were trying to fix the electricity I knew what Mare's power was. There was a few more incidents like that where I knew what was coming, however, there was one betrayal that happened that I did not see coming because Victoria Aveyard wrote him and the situation so well. The incident I am talking about is when Maven betrays Mare and sends her to the dog house. That was CRAZY. I was so surprised. It was so well played! I could not believe it! I liked Maven a lot, I mean I wanted to have Cal be with Mare, but I also want Maven to have a happy ending and I was coming to terms with him being with Mare and then that betrayal happened and I was like WHAT?! I loved him so much!!! It kind of reminded me of Frozen (when Hans was like "if only someone loved you") when that scene happened. Also Shade is alive?! Yay!!! (hide spoiler)] This book was so intense and good and beautiful. Also I really liked how the romance wasn't THAT big of a player in the book. It was there but that wasn't the focus, I really liked that. For any of those who have not read this book, READ IT!!!! 
 HAPPY READINGS!!!!
