What makes me buy this book is it's cover art and interesting book description? Besides, when I look at the "look inside" feature, I noticed there are some quotations or sentences worth mentioning. If the quotation or sentence is worth mentioning, then I must say that the author actually put effort to deliver a good story. One sentence that caught me is, "Time to end this"... this sentence describe the action that the main character is trying to win her opponent. The author displayed great skills describing fighting scenes. A thumbs up for me, being a paranormal romance author.This novel has a futuristic dystopian setting and the story is surrounding the main lady character named Raine. If you like The Hunger Games, Divergent, you will sure like this novel. There is a lot of girl power especially the part where Raine is having a sword fighting session with Wolfe.The main character is Raine. She is a very strong female character with exceptional sword-fighting skills. She was also an anomaly, an exception to the rule of stability in the Outer Rims. Though she is a young woman, she knows her rights and needs. Raine also likes Jem another male character that has a stout physique. Although, Raine was forced into a new life, and later on was asked to lead. There are lots of surprises and twists install for the reader. I enjoyed this character truly.I also found out that Raine has an uncanny ability to observe what is happening around her and used it to her advantage to help her friends. The plot is simple to follow and is suitable to most people, even young adults. There are some scenes that really caught me by surprise. Rest assured that if you think you aren't able to identify who are the good and bad guys, think again.This is my first time reading Tani Mura - Kindreds Series. As mentioned, this book is great for teens, young adults, and even mature readers like myself. If you like dystopian thriller like this one, you'll definitely get lots of entertainment and enjoyment out of this novel series.If there's one thing I'd change about this book, it would be to create more dialogues between the three friends, Raine, Jem, and Leif. I believe the next series novel will be even more exciting. Overall, this novel rocks! I enjoyed this novel in one sitting.This book looked great on my Kindle Fire HD tablet. It has good formatting and layout.If you found this review useful, let the community know by clicking "YES" on the Helpful Vote.Zhu Hsia is the author ofThe Third (An Urban Paranormal Romance Novel)andThe Elements (A YA Urban Fantasy).
