In the beginning, I was struggling with whether I actually wanted to read this book. The dialect of the protagonist, Fen, just drove me crazy. She is speaking "tribe" and it took some getting used to. It is a good story, though. Orleans is a brutal, hostile place with little hope and, at times, this makes for a difficult read. In the end I felt it was well done and this terrifying world gives food for thought.
The story is of a World both Complex and Sad, and I can definitely see the Read being made into a Movie...
Also, an above Average Read, but it did take a few chapters to get into the Story, and the Book is a little more violent than the typical YA Novel...
However, I am interested with how the Story will continue, and I will definitely check out Book 2...
Lastly, the connection of the Story with New Orleans is a strong reason to want to read the Novel, and which was interesting in correlation, and as we typically don't have a realistic apocalyptic event to compare most of our Dystopian Fiction to.
Finally, I give it a 3.75/5.0
