Really interesting and very different from the Uglies series, but still really adventurous. We'll see how the other books are, because I felt that Uglies declined throughout.

My only complaint is that the story is too short. Good thing there are more books in the series!

I loved this book. Given, it did start off slow, but this book ended up being a page-turner! I am definitely looking forward to reading the next one.
