I haven't read the author's previous work, Saint X, but have always wanted to. After reading a segment of this book, I am even more interested in getting my hands on it. The writing is beautiful. It's lyrical and descriptive, painting a picture I can easily visualize as if I am actually there. The protagonist, Vera, seems very interesting. I love dystopian books and from what I've read so far of this book, I believe I will like this one as well!
