I picked this one up with Number the Nameless Stars and Errant in a book sale bundle, and was quite pleased-surprised by it.


A solid, beautiful 3 stars for the main 95% of the novela. This is a solid, well plotted, surprise!dystopian novel, that made me think of a lot of stories like Margaret Attwood's "The Handmaiden's Tale." Bonus? It was a twin story. Bonus? It was about the differences between choice and love and loyalty and self vs. Government.

The solid 4 star rating is because I didn't predict the ending, at least not entirely, and I really like how the ending parallel's right back into the first 5%-10% commentary of the story. Quite lovely for even how short it was. I can't wait to keep reading through the rest of her works. ( )
