This was a great book, I picked it up because it was the #1 seller at a store in the London airport, and it certainly did not disappoint! At first, I didn't like Saba, but she and I bonded when she 1st entered the Cage, and I was attached to her from there on out. The style of writing threw me at first too, but I'm so glad I stuck it out.
I truly look forward to reading the sequel.
This book was such a suprise! It is written in a southern english/different writing/spelling. Example Quote: “I never knew that missin somebody could hurt, I says. But it does. Deep inside. Like it's in my bones. We ain't never bin apart till now. Never. I dunno how to be without him. It's like... I ain't nuthin.”-Saba (MC)
It also does not use “ or Italics for speach and thoughts. (You still completly understand the book though.)
My biggest fav is the main guy, Jack. He is so awesome!!! I just loved him as the side guy. They had an enemy to lovers like relashionship.
It felt a bit long in some spots as they did the world building and charecter intros.
Over all, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!
