Review: 2,5* The dystopian world is not well described.
Rating: 2 out of 5

The dystopian world is superficially described and I couldn't figure it out. We know there's no electricity, few cars, some trains and horses are a luxury. The North America is divided in federations and our hero is the commander of the Northwest Federation. The names of the cities are confusing and not original. Nothing more is further explained. Sometimes I felt we were in a medieval-like reality, others simply in an uderveloped country-like world.The relationship between Tiernan and Madison could be that of medieval lord/servant maid, of a rich man/poor innocent girl. Both the characters and their relationship and the dystopian world are weakly developed.The mistery with the rebels was annoying more than intriguing and what happened with Aidan almost at the end of the book seems to come out of nowhere and not the supposed conclusive climax of the story.
