Ratings and reviews

I did not keep my attention. It read weird. And the names and etc. They picked were just strange.

Very interesting setting and government. I'm excited to read the following two. It is great to see an aspiring heroine grow into her own.

I really enjoyed the reads. My vivid imagination was able to actually see characters and places. I liked it a lot.
