    This book is so good that you fell like your really there in person as some of the characters. It's got suspense that you will want the book to keep going and never end.

    I am almost at a loss of words by the amount of joy i got from reeading this book. By far my favourite of Tamoras books to date. It showed a higher level of writing sophistication that I have seen only in her Tricksters series. I bought this book with high hopes and was overjoyed when they were exceeded!

    I absolutlely loved this book, I think its one of her best books yet. I am very much impressed with her tackling of sensitive issues such as war, birthcontrol, and homosexuality. A great read for fans and non-fans alike!

    Excellent

    Though I would not say that this is my favourite of her novels, I believe that it is still very well written and engaging. She dealt with issues that suited the ages of the characters within the novel, such as romantic relationships and growing responsibility, and more than this, she addressed the overbearing occurrence of the growing apart from the ones you love. Overall, a novel I'd recommend to anyone. The style of writing varies from her norm, but I enjoyed the difference.

    A Great Book

    While this book definately wasn't as good as some of her other books, it was still great. I would read it again without hesitation. It shows a new point of view, with Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar fighting a lot and having trouble agreeing on things. It shows how they each have changed over time, and grown apart.

    This book is filled with action and adventure, and is written from an amazing point of view. The story itself is wonderful. The characters are filled with lots of detail, making them seem real, as if they were more than just words on a page. This story mentions a new culture, new problems, new solutions, new friendships, a new story. This book is completely filled with new ideas. I absolutely loved it.
