Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It should have been a 3 star rating. The premise is interesting, the plot is interesting, I like the plot twists. But what ruined this book for me was the short chapters with alternate POV. Sometimes, not very often, the shift in POVs is useful because the two main characters do different things but most of the time, it's just to continue the story. And the writing feels immature to me. so it's rather a 2.5 rating because I like the storyline. Without it, I would have given up on the rest of the series. no reviews | add a review

While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they bend like reeds to the will of their male Protectors, she uses hers for sparring practice. When Rachel's father fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the city's brutal Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector: her father's apprentice, Logan-the boy she declared her love to and who turned her down two years before. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can't be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

Because it was worth it once you cross that line. And I could barely put it down then. When all the twists and turns start happeing, when the two main characters have the most amazing first "I love you's" ever, when they don't get alone, fight, and talk, and its proven by a YA book you can still do this. When all of the worst things happen.
I am literally dying for the next book, and I honestly think there's no way the sequel won't be a 4/5. This is the written proof of an author learning and growing, and getting better through the process. And I cannot wait to see where the author and all my characters are when Book Two comes out. Definitely a read I think any YA fan should make. ( )
