Good premise. I didn’t realize initially that this was a spinoff from the Pretties Series. I think I might have liked it better if it wasn’t. I felt like it called back to that series too much rather than establishing its own story.

Fast-paced starter to the Imposters series, a future-based offshoot of Westerfeld's popular Uglies series.

In a post Tally Youngblood world, this brings a new revolution to the world. I can't wait to read the next book, and the next, and eventually the 4th called Youngblood which, I hope, will have Tally in it again!

As an old Uglies fan, Impostors was a nice and welcomed surprised. I missed the quick pace, the action packed plot and the twists, along with a smooth character development. And this book did not disappoint in these aspects. However, I do have to admit that I don't remember a lot from the Uglies plot other than some names and the basics. And, fortunately, there weren't many refrences, but I fear that there might be a big twist coming up where the four previous book might come in handy. So, if you haven't read the books, proceed while being aware that there might be low key hints from the Uglies. Other than that, there were some small parts that bothered me. Just like the previous series, the male character was there to keep the story moving. The romance was too sudden and could have been a better friendship than a romance.
But, overall, it was a nice book.

This book had me on the edge of my seat! I have loved all the books Westerfeld has put in the same world that just keeps expanding and getting more complex every time I read about it. This one kept me guessing right up until the end. Everytime I thought I knew what was coming, a new surprise came flying out of the fog. Surprising yet inevitable. Fray is a girl in a situation completely alien to what most of us experience, yet her feelings and struggles are still so relatable. Masterful storytelling, yet again.

Not quite as good as the original series but still so good! Love the pacing and the prose. A nice break from the other books I've been reading.
