I get hung up on world building snafus and inconsistencies (one of the many reasons I HATED Shatter Me), so I'll pass on this one. Which is a shame, because I like the cover, and dark things.

Names can drive me crazy too so I'm a little worried about that but I think I'm going to really like this book!! I actually like that your review is rambly because you cover everything and sometimes you really just can't decide about a book! But crack books are always worth trying to me ;)Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-57651361105166705962015-01-23T16:25:24.419-05:002015-01-23T16:25:24.419-05:00This rivals your review of The Elite.

I'll deal, but Wah....<br /><br />I've heard there's a suspicion that this book is too similar to Red Rising by Pierce Brown, any thoughts Gillian? Or for anybody else who has read it?

Those names are weird though. It is nice to know about the beginning so I'm not discouraged when I start reading this book, because I will be reading this book. Great review!

But I think it's like how some people smoke pot and nothing happens and they're like I don't get it. That was me with this form of crack. Somehow crack is not a drug where this is the response I don't think, but I am very much out of my depths here. <br /><br />You know what there should be dragons in the sequel. I wouldn't be bored with a thousand dragons and their fire on top, right?<br /><br />I love the word affianced.<br /><br />Little seeds of romance blossoming in the Savannah.<br /><br />Or in this case the weird fighting ring thing.<br /><br />You indeed should be a marketing blurby person. Such truth. "and that baby somehow came out not quite as good as that sounds" <- Y U WANT TO MAKE ME CRY<br /><br />Aha, here is the Mare part and this is where the crack didn't get me. Like, I did not care. She wasn't interesting. It's not even that I disliked her, which maybe would have been better. I dunno.<br /><br />THE NAMES. TRAMY. WHAT THE FUCK IS A TRAMY. Are the parents' names like Trevor and Amy and they were like let's do this?<br /><br />"Mare has this habit of restating hings in italics like she's playing to the cheap seats who couldn't get it the first time" <- CRYING SOME MORE. This review is just the fucking best man. Oh look this book makes me swear. Poor disgruntled commenter.<br /><br />ROMATNICALLY. trololol. There's also a bbut if you care. For a moment I thought Kilorn was a wind from back home that was capitalized for some reason. Where is my head at? Idk. I would need my head to figure that out. It's a terrible circle.<br /><br />IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIFEChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-26659961266042115632015-01-22T15:15:22.590-05:002015-01-22T15:15:22.590-05:00Oh I totally agree about the uneven beginning and ...Oh I totally agree about the uneven beginning and really strong ending. The way the book ended almost made me forget how slow and confusing this start of the book was. I also totally agree on your assessment of the four-way baby. It was familiar but different at the same time. In the end I did like the book and I'm interested see where things lead.
