I am so impressed by Sejal Badani's (excuse me...), Sage Sask's talent. She is just so versatile! The fact that she can produce incredible novels such as Trail of Broken Wings and The Storyteller's Secret, then follow it up with a thrilling dystopian novel such as this, speaks volumes of her talent. These genres are on near opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet, she has the ability to pull it off. I think Ms. "Sask's" strength is in her ability to endear the characters to her readers, no matter the target audience. The protagonists are always well-developed and multi-faceted, as are the secondary characters.
However, I must admit, there were just a few too many minor characters for my liking, and I had a hard time keeping up with the multitude of young Circle members. There were also certain circumstances throughout the novel that caused confusion - subplots that were a bit disjointed. I found myself going back to previous chapters in an attempt to clear up the confusion more often than I'm used to. Having said this, I think it is an excellent novel for older teens, and it was fast-paced and intriguing.
Many thanks to IBPA and NetGalley for gifting me with this novel in exchange for an honest review.
