"I love how dystopian this story was, and the relationship between the main female character and her sister. I love the detail of the social norms and economy, it brings a sense of realism. Always love a touch of plants! The mystery and thrill of an unsolved issue is a good touch to any story."

"Gaia is crossing the wasteland with her little sister to find somewhere to go after escaping the Enclave. Oh and the place she happens to go to is Sylum, she's rescued by the dreamy Chardo Peter and tries to get used to living in a new place. Oh, Caragh O'Brien keeps me hooked to her books and this was a great read. Birthmarked is still my favorite and some things are just weird in this book since it seems to be about physical attraction a lot, but I still liked it.<br/><br/><br/>SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!<br/>I still think Gaia should have ended up with Peter."
