Review
Rating: 4/5
When I began this book, I was taken with Aeva’s strong character traits. I couldn’t help admiring her strength—both physically and mentally. She’s a renowned athlete in a brutal sport, which I found atypical, yet it perfectly suits her character.
Though this book seems more dystopian than sci-fi to me, I was immediately drawn into the world Ann Soliveres created, which vaguely resembled the poor districts and Capitol region in The Hunger Games. But that’s where the similarities end.
With solid character development, a story that moves quickly, and twists and turns along the way, this is a solid first novel for Anna Soliveres. I look forward to reading more of her work.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
