Hana is coming up to the time she will be “cured” – that is, she will not be able to love. In the months leading up to that time, however, she has discovered an underground of young people who have not yet been cured. They party, dance, and love before they will no longer be able to. This was good. Very short, but a quick capture of one of the characters in the series. I have read the first in the series and there are more short stories following different characters, as well as at least two more full-length books in the series. Reading chronologically, this book would take place in the middle of book one, so I read it after. I had a sneaking suspicion about Hana, but I was sad to have it proven right. The book was short, of course, being a novella so I wish we'd had more information. Specifically, I wish we'd been able to see how Hana felt after her actions and after she saw the consequences of those actions. I always love getting another character's perspective though, and I hope we get to see Hana again as the series unfolds. no reviews | add a review
