*some spoilers toward the end*I really loved this story. The flow of it was beautiful and I really enjoyed all the intrigue and suspense. We find our heroine in a highly regulated colony after the rest of the world has basically died as she’s trying to find a way to escape it and Nathan is the guy that’s making her life a nightmare.Cori was a great female lead and I loved the fact she was special but still real enough to relate to. She was emotionally and physically standoffish which was perfectly portrayed as a result of being raised in this colony where any kind of touching was punishable.But I did have a hard time figuring out who she has feelings for. Even with Dylan I wasn’t sure if she’s going to stay with him or not because of it. I guess I couldn’t feel the emotions from her. And of course I pictured her more with a tough soldier guy than with Dylan even though he was smart and tough but in another way. But I do appreciate that the swooning wasn’t involved and that the romance part didn’t overtake the plot of the story.The escape was sudden even though she was constantly looking for opportunities but I liked that it wasn’t planned and perfect. Their journey afterwards was very interesting and full of surprises especially when they get captured again.I did not expect they’d go after Nathan but I loved the action and that Nathan got what he deserved. I’m kind of curious now to see what the sequel has in store since there’s just half the colony left without a leader.
