A mix of hunger games and got. This was one of my favourite love stories I've ever read. Violet's character development is strong but you can still see her failing, making mistakes, learning from them. I very much enjoyed her not being the perfect heroine by the end of the book, but you know that she tries everything in her possibilities to protect the ones she loves. 
But I must admit that it was hard for me to follow the war scenes.

Not the best written book (think YA but with adult themes) but it moves along with the story.
