Marie Lu really needs to learn how to describe the scene, not the grass. She regularly interrupts conversations to go into mindnumbingly detailing that can last for pages. I am not exaggerating when I estimate that her books can be 2/3 shorter just by saying "it's a field of lush grash on a good day" instead of describing every minute detail of everything in the field. The reader do not need to know every shade of purple each of the threads in a purple coat has. It's purple. Let the reader's imagination work out the details. (

* I got this book for review from the publisher*

I thought this book was soild read. I really liked the characters and found the rag tag group of heroes to be a fun concept. I also thought he world was a fun one with a mix fantsay and also science fiction elements. I really liked the characters. I also though this book was super fast paced. But i struggled a bit with the plot and especially towards the end. I liked this book, it did not wow me. But i will still check out the sequel!! (
