Review:
This is the first book in a series (more reviews of the other books to come) and it was really enjoyable. The book was left on a cliff hanger, making you want to read the next book (Pretties) straight after! I adore the characters in this book and Scott Westerfeld's writing is absolutely lovely. You read this book from the perspective of Tally, so you experience everything, her emotions, her movements and just everything, it's brilliant. I wasn't very sure with what to exactly put in this review, because there is so much to say, but I can't really seem to fully explain why this book is something I love! I have to say this whole seers is brilliant and worth checking out. Just watch out for some bad language. I highly recommend this series. When I first picked it up, I was a bit worried. I felt like blogs and YouTube had maybe hyped it up too much (I'm like this with every book I pick up because of reviews) but I was not disappointed! Enjoy!
Rating: 5/5 Stars
