I have to be honest, this is my first Dystopian read. I was not sure what to expect. I was very surprised of how well this story was written. The Characters, places, emotions, events are very well explained. It made me believe in this world.I did find the first couple of chapters overwhelming. There was a lot of information, which set a slow pace at the beginning of the story. I had a hard time connecting with the story in the beginning, but I found myself turning the pages much quicker after a couple of chapters.This story is unique and the author did a fantastic job in making us understand the meaning of FORGIVENESS. The love and hate relationship between the main characters was very well developed. They had to go through different kinds of emotions to end up where they did.I'm extremely happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone by reading Intermix Nation. It sure makes me want to read more books in this genre. I really hope that the author has future plans for these amazing characters.
