I was kind of nervous to return to reading an Ally Condie book, after the disappointment I felt with the Matched Trilogy. However, everything from the cover to the description appealed to me, so I decided to give this book a chance. The book has a great concept, but no real development or character growth. The whole time, Poe was so paranoid and suspicious of everyone, which made me paranoid and suspicious of everyone, so I did not really care about any of the characters. Also, I was kind of confused when Poe all of a sudden just switched sides to be with the drifters? It seems like there was almost no internal acknowledgment of that at all, which there should have been. And the romance with Brig- I kind of predicted it, because I always assume there’s going to be a romance, but the way it was executed felt way too quick and forced. Definitely something that needs work. The book left off on kind of a cliffhanger, so hopefully there will be a next book and maybe in that next book, Ally will be able to expand on the world that was too briefly introduced to us, as well as add some more growth to the characters, who have the potential to be interesting characters.
