I follow Liesel already but I'll have to read this book for sure! Not anytime soon though since I am epically behind...anyways I love all the elements you both brought out about how mysterious the plot was (which I love!) and how original it was for a dystopian - you're both right that so many of them have become formulaic. The characters all sound very memorable as well. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to check this one out for myself :DMichelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-7780753966822656702013-02-19T00:01:29.477-05:002013-02-19T00:01:29.477-05:00Love this!

I enjoyed hearing about the supporting characters because these are really important to me. The world building and twists and turns are exciting. I'm so glad to see Liesel. I have this book on my shelf and just haven't gotten to read it yet.

So whenever a sci-fi/dystopian novel is heavy on it, my brain wants to tune out. I found the science of this book very interesting and thoroughly explained, though, and it never overshadows the actual story.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-71505175350603002002013-02-18T09:37:22.852-05:002013-02-18T09:37:22.852-05:00I've been taking a break from them, too, but I...I've been taking a break from them, too, but I liked the sound of this one, and it is fantastically written.

And the fact that it doesn't get too bogged down with technical terms is great. <br /><br />Maggie sounds like a great character. Especially since you say this book is so different. I've heard lots of fabulous things about this book and I definitely need to add it to my wishlist after all the positive praise. <br /><br />Brilliant reviews and awesome interview! :)Livvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441931016080817720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-65616362497371723032013-02-17T16:07:24.339-05:002013-02-17T16:07:24.339-05:00Sounds wonderfully written.

She's another book on my to-read list I have to add. :( Though, I don't think I can read it anytime soon. My to read list is sickeningly long.
