I just...I don't even have the words to describe this story to me. NOT TO MENTION that there is also fantasy involved and this girl loves dragons and swords. It is just an excellent and odd mixture of different genres and technologies and an interesting world...and a city with an actual PULSE?!?!?! <br /><br />I am THRILLED that I got to read this one early. I am THRILLED for Jodi Meadows and I am already ridiculously impatient for the rest of the story...like a kid waiting to open birthday presents or something. It's ridiculous. This is a story that I NEED more of and NOW. <br /><br />Your thoughts are eloquent and beautiful, as always, Jenny.

Her situation sounds so sad and it seems like the author has done a really good job portraying that. I have this one from NetGalley and wasn't sure whether I wanted to read it, but I'll do my best to get to it now because I really liked the way you described Ana and Sam's relationship.

There are fantasy elements to this one (dragons and sylphs) but the world itself felt dystopian to me.<br /><br />Lauren - We are! So glad you loved it as much as I did:)<br /><br />Linda - I adore the imagery on this cover, so gorgeous! I like the colorful ones:)<br /><br />Missie - Exactly. It's familiar and different at the same time which sucked me right into the story.

I'm not surprised that it's easy to support the odd girl out through her plight. She seems like quite the character, and I usually can't help feeling attached to characters that carry such resolve within them, especially when they are dealing with so much.<br /><br />And I love the way you've described the tension that brews between Ana and Sam. Thanks for the lovely review, Jenny.

You learn some things and you are just sort of left wanting to know more but not absolutely DYING for that information. <br /><br />Rummanah - It definitely looks more like a paranormal or fantasy read, but I'd say it's more dystopian in nature. I found the whole premise really fascinating, and I loved the characters:)<br /><br />Jac - Right? You don't get everything tied up in a neat little bow, but you also aren't left staring at the last page screaming NOOOOOOOOO.
