When I first read the book's synopsis I didn't think that it would be something that I would be interested in, although I did think that the plot sounded interesting. However, I then saw that the book was recommended for fans of Marie Lu, and since i absolutely loved the Legend series I reread the synopsis and realized that this could be a book I could get into, even if at first I thought it was too sci-fi for me. I also love some strong female characters and the fact that it is two sisters really appeals to me.
