This book tackles some really difficult issues and does so very well... and I love that. I may have some minor issues with the book when I reread it (and I will, of course), but overall, this was a great one.
I absolutely loved [b:Birthmarked 6909544 Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1) Caragh M. O'Brien https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1317066757s/6909544.jpg 7134814] because it was about a strong girl who took control of her own destiny. Prized is like that, except a bit... dumber. This story follows Gaia after she escapes the Enclave and goes into the Wasteland. She finds a strange society and it completely changes her entire life. I loved everything except the romance. Seriously, a love square? Yawn. Other than the stupid boys and Gaia's overzealous feelings for them, this book has a wonderful plot and is beautifully written. I hope the third book, [b:Promised 13010211 Promised (Birthmarked, #3) Caragh M. O'Brien https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1330546217s/13010211.jpg 18171867], is just as great!
