Honestly, I'd rate this 4.5 overall. It's a really great book--and while I don't normally head toward YA especially YA vampire books, I'm really glad I took a chance on this. Sloane is a strong character, a strong heroine who stays consistently strong. She doesn't get stupid or act ditzy in front of either of the love interests, and frankly that was a breath of fresh air. I like that she has a few weaknesses, though a couple of the scrapes she got out of could have used a little more explanation.One of the major plot points was predictable, but again, that didn't take away from the enjoyability of this book. The world building is beautiful and thoughtful, and I easily got caught up in this dystopian universe.I look forward to reading the second book in this series.
