Editorial Reviews

“A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It’s exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable.” —USA Today, on the English-language edition

“Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises... inventive, character-driven.” —Kirkus, on the English-language edition

“A volatile world with a dynamic heroine.” — Booklist, on the English-language edition

“Breakneck pace and engaging characters.” — School Library Journal, on the English-language edition

“ [Aveyard] sets her audience up for a gaspworthy twist that reconfigures nearly every character’s role and leaves Mare with no one to trust but herself... This blend of fantasy and dystopia will be an unexpected and worthy addition to many genre fans’ reading list.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, on the English-language edition
