Amaryllis’s comments from the Curious Book Geeks group.

(1) What was your initial reaction upon finishing the book? How many stars would you rate it?

Definitely a good possibility of a movie adaptation. I rated this as 4 stars as i really really do love it but i did not have like a book hangover after reading it...i want to know what happens next but somehow, i feel that I can wait till its sequel is out. I do hope that this is just a duology but a trilogy don't sound too bad either...just worried the waiting my kill me at that time.

(2) Do you have a favorite character? Least favorite character?

Elias. I feel that his character is the one that is was given the most development. Like how he been thrown all the possible feeling ever. He was discarded as a baby, adopted by a wonderful family, taken away from the family, recognized by his grandfather cause he shows potential to be the best, had to mask his actual feelings - which is battling inside, watch his mates dying and watching his best friend sacrificing for him and knowing the next time, he has to fight with her.

Least favourite --- Marcus...he is just too evil and there unfortunately i have no idea what make him this way. I know the Commandment is more evil but to a certain extend, i know why she is that evil.

(3) For you, what was the strongest point of the plot?

The world building. The author does a good job at describing the world that the plot takes place. And i like it that it alternates between two character viewpoint.

(4) According to Goodreads, there will be a sequel to the book. Will you read it, when it's published?

Of course! I want to know what's going to happen. Is the leader of the resistance really doing it for the good or he has a hidden agenda. What's going to happen to Marcus and the Commandment. How about Helene, Keenen, Izzi and the Cook. Lastly, how are they going to save Darin and how everyone going to feel about Elias and Laia relationship.

(5) Overall feedback on our first readalong? + suggestions!

This is my first readalong...so i have no experience. This is also my first Goodreads Group. So far, i think it has been rather quiet but i don't mind. :) Though maybe, once the group has stabilize, could we determine the genre like 2-3 months in advance.

Good JOB!
