I got this off of NetGalley in December, i believe and i had a bit of trepidation about reading it but i actually enjoyed it, i read it in one sitting and it was a lot better then i expected i think because i have read her Contemporaries that is why i thought she probably wouldn't be able to write a YA dystopian but she pulled it off in a way only a contemporary writer can even though it was set in a world very different from our own it felt like it wasn't it felt very real and you can feel the pain, heart ache and inner turmoil of the characters and in such a short amount of time you get very invested in characters and wish very painful things for others.
It is that common Dystopian Trope again one girl against the government but it feels different than the others with how public it is. It has such a good Premise and it also followed through with a story to back it up.
I could definitely read more of this book book, i felt that it ended in the right place for the story but i just wanted more and that is how i know i have read a really good book when i physically need the next book now. I only have one major down on this book and its hat i feel it would have been better with more that just Celestine's POV just so we can see the scenes that are missing the scenes we only just catch glimpses of because they are to do with other people that Celestine has no business asking what happened because of her trial. Over all the characters were good i could give or take a few but the character development in this book for certain characters like Summer, Celestine's Mum is phenomenal and so good we get to see characters grow in their beliefs and in their mind set, and the world building in some of the best i have read in a dystopian book in a while.
Celestine was a very strong female heroine who stood up for what was right even though she was raided to think it is wrong and is not something she was raised to believe in. and she was a good character to tell the story her "voice" was very entertaining and fun to read.
For her first YA book Ahern did an extremely good job in setting up the rest of this series, i cannot wait to read more.
Until Next Time
Happy Reading
