This is the first of two prequels to the Sanguis City series. Lilanoir, aka Lily, is definitely an intriguing character. She is shunned and outcasted by not only her mother, but also from her town. She is called a monster and has supernatural strength and speed, hinting at the fact that she is a bit "different", but it's not quite fully revealed yet.The world is also quite different. It's a post-apocalyptic setting where humans are to live only in designated areas called Human Reservations.  They are essentially like our Indian Reservations in the US in the sense that they are close-knit, and some people have even chosen to adopt different aspects of the American Indian culture, mainly Cherokee. Anything outside these areas are deemed dangerous and uninhabitable. Lily is asked by her best friend/love interest, Crow, to move out of the base where she currently lives and join him in the village. She goes back to her town to speak to her mother, and that's really when things get interesting.There were a few minor errors, mainly with the improper word being used - plaque instead of plague, devote as opposed to devout. It wasn't bad enough to pull me out of the story, which is always a good thing.I've been interested in this series for a while now, and decided to get a feel by reading the prequels. Based on this one alone, I am interested enough to move to the actual series.
