Never, ever judge a book by its cover. That is a saying we are all familiar with and one that should be heeded in this case. While Fractured doesn't have the spiffiest of covers, it does have one of the most enjoyable, clean Dystopia stories I have read in a long time!Senator Philip Burton is on a mission from his country of Free Nation to tour and learn more about the country of Una. His son Ben comes along to help him and is intrigued by Councillor Ladron's subsidiary Astra.Even though Astra lives in Una she is not one of them and it shows by the way she is treated. When her stepsister gets too close to Ben, Astra and her family must do what they can to save their lives.D.D. Chant does such a wonderful job building this unique world. It was so easy to see it all through the eyes of her characters. The plot moved along at a good and comfortable pace. This was a book I fell asleep reading and picked right up as soon as I awakened. I will admit I was a bit surprised by the cliffhanger ending. I hadn't even realized I had reached the end of this story. Needless to say I will be reading the next in this fascinating series.
