Yey or Nay?
Our group liked the novel as a whole. We liked the author's idea of a dystopia where the society chooses everything for you. We liked the use of symbolism throughout the novel. For example, the different artifacts each person had symbolized their individuality. We liked the use of imagery in the book. We also like the cliffhanger at the end, where Cassia was so determined. This enticed us to read the sequels. One thing we disliked about the book was the amount of action it had. Since it was about a dystopian society, we figured it could use more action. We recommend this book to future readers. We recommend it because it shows a society other than the one we live in. This could show the reader how different life could be. We also recommend it because it's simply a good read. If you like "[A] superb dystopian romance," then this book is for you. There are also two sequels to this book if you would like to continue with the story. Lastly, we recommend this book because it has great character development.
