I am speechless....
Love the concept of the story and the way it is portrayed. I like how the difference is made between the silvers and reds and their appearance and the whole setup of the story the scenes and places are described well.
Taking about the story well.... I'm still in shock. But it has kept my interest all the way long. The beginning is quite similar to any movie or show. A girl rising from a lower society to a upper society tho I was expecting conspiracies and all but the ending was totally unexpected and left me with goosebumps.
I'm wrote this review almost half an hour from completing this book because I need to let things sink in. About Mare. Well I can sadly relate to her how she believed people so easily tho she pretends to be smart but she thinks with her heart and at the end was always betrayed.
About Cal. I feel sorry for him from the beginning till the end.
About Maven. I can only say that it's a love turned to hatred thing for him from my side . I Just Hate Him
I'm happy that tho mare have lost a lot in the end tho she gained somethings. And Cal, he is a soldier he will fight back for the right . Maven and the Queen (cannot be called a Queen for sure) , both will pay for their sins.
Most of the reviews I've read, stated mare was selfish and stupid. But I guess there's a thing similar between her and cal . They both remained loyal to their people and wanted to work for them. Tho cal was aware of the silvers but mare wasn't she could put her mind around all the things happening to her and rushed things. But what else can we expect from a 18 year old girl. Mare and cal both were betrayed by the person they loved.
Concluding my experience I love this book and I think I will love the series as well. Can't wait to read all the books of this series.
From all the super powers from the book I wish I had the one of changing people minds, erasing their memories and inserting new ones like Julian.

Liked it at first, then this book put me on a reading slump and the end. Took me forever to finish it. 10 days

DNF at 50%. Listening to the audiobook at 2x speed and it still feels way too slow. The main character annoys me and I don't care about anything that's happening.

This book was absolutely amazing! It threw me back into my teenage fantasy reading days. The plot was so captivating, and the twists and turns were mostly unpredictable. Its resemblance to The Hunger Games is a plus. The authors' use of description was great, really allowing for you to dive into this world. Some of my favorite quotes were:
“I see a world on the edge of a blade. Without balance, it will fall,”
"Revolutions need a spark...and even sparks burn"
"You are playing the game as someone's pawn"
