Really liked this book, but it kind of felt like the typical dystopian series.

The pace and excitement of this book grabbed my attention and kept it the whole time! This book got me out of a long reading slump. Reading it a second time, there were a few things that I picked up on that didn't quite make sense, but not enough to pull me out of the experience.

Fun read! Th blending of fantasy elements and a dystopian future came across a little jerky in some areas, but it was a refreshing change of pace from you standard high fantasy story. 

I definitely see why Red Queen has maintained hype over the years. The main characters are interesting—though our FMC is definitely a little more whiney than I typically prefer—and the twists were great!

The day after I finished this book I went back to my local bookstore to buy the rest of the series. Such an interesting story and concept. The romance piece was a bit immature but the characters are teens so it's appropriate.
