My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.Disclaimers: I received an electronic copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: WOW! This book left me absolutely stunned. I had high expectations going into this one. I mean reread the synopsis and try telling me it didn't catch your attention. I read the synopsis and felt tingles running down my spine.The second I started reading this one I was prepared to be disappointed, I was prepared to realize I had set my expectations too high. But I wasn't expecting to be completely blown away.Hands down this is the best book I've read in months. It had a slow beginning. After reading the first four pages, I wasn't really sure what to think. By page ten, I was hooked. By page fifty, I couldn't think of anything but reading. I kept flipping the pages faster and faster.Jones' writing style was compelling and I adored the world and the characters she created. Cassie and Balik...definitely two of my favorite characters and I will admit I would definitely crush on Balik. I love love loved this book.This was one of those books that I finished and an hour later still felt like I was in the world of Space Station Hope.The ending was not a strong as I thought it would be, but it was still a strong ending that has left me dying to read the next in the series.Dystopian fans will eat this novel up, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to any reader. Check this one out.In Summary: One of the best novels I've read this year. The world Jones' created drew me in from the very beginning and left me captivated from the first page to the very last page. I definitely can't wait to see what Jones' does in the sequel. Read this one...you won't regret it.Warnings/Side-notes: Only the most minor swearing. Other than that this novel is clean.The Wrap-up: This book is AMAZING! Yes, that needed to be put in all-caps. I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but I was. Dystopian at its best. Easily, in my top ten of the year.Love,Danica Page
