I think we both gave the first one the same rating on Goodreads: three stars. I actually gave this book ONE star. Seriously, one star ratings are just so rare for me, but that's how bad it was.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-28738763082939139942016-09-15T13:39:19.830+02:002016-09-15T13:39:19.830+02:00Cait, the concept was AWESOME, but the characters ...Cait, the concept was AWESOME, but the characters and the world building were just so wrong. And I was so disappointed that there was NO mention of the school and the kids and how that all came about. Ugh. Tragic. Please don't bother. But look at the bright side: I have saved you from this one so you can read another amazing book on your TBR that IS worth your time. :)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-63957885179322970512016-09-15T13:37:42.909+02:002016-09-15T13:37:42.909+02:00Oh yeah, Joy, I totally thought of you when I read...Oh yeah, Joy, I totally thought of you when I read it because I read your post about how you thought the first one was boring. It sucks that this one was even worse!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-21052160141395218152016-09-15T06:28:43.099+02:002016-09-15T06:28:43.099+02:00NOOOOOO.

I wasn't in love with the first one either, so now I probably will be feeling the same as you (also because we are book twinsies). I hoped this one would be better but it sounds worse for sure. So sorry this didn't work for you :( Thanks for the great review/warning!

I liked the concept more than the actual execution of the book (I don't even get why they were torturing the kids if the kids were all precious and the only reason no one was at war?? hmm.) And it didn't have enough world building for me. BUT! I hoped book 2 would answer questions and be more awesome. I shall go cry now and probably not bother, gah.CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-2474749727175390382016-09-14T15:00:33.046+02:002016-09-14T15:00:33.046+02:00Bah.

I have an ARC of this one. *sobs*Joy https://www.blogger.com/profile/08176549392514186645noreply@blogger.com
