The book is filled with survival, friends, family, and a mission. The characters vibe well with the plot leaving you twisting and turning through special abilities, training, and tons of questions about her world and where she came from.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. The writing style was catchy and drew me in rather quickly leading me to finish it within a few sittings. There are some elements to the story that I found to be a little clique in YA, but it still presented with a unique twist that was fun to read.
