"I leaned against the stone wall, resting my cheek on top of my knees. Waiting to be rescued." You're the protagonist, girl - get off your @$$ and rescue your damn self!

How are we almost done with this?! Nothing has happened! And I've met bricks smarter than Jezebel - in a non-coed school WHY DO YOU THINK you shouldn't talk to the boy?! And can NO ONE just effing tell another person what's really on their mind?! GOOD EFFING GAWD!!!

I'm struggling to understand why the government would spend this effort to capture her and then give her what she wanted. This dystopia was set up nicely - it's kinda fallen apart like soggy, unbaked bread.

I hate Mary Sues, but I almost think the worst character is the one who is as dumb as a f$&@ing brick yet everyone gapes at how smart she is. Jezebel is an effing moron - I knew within three sentences what happened to Chalice. I also couldn't believe how easily Jezebel breaks rules while trying to be "under cover.

Jezebel is starting to irritate me - she's befriended Reuben WAY TOO FAST and yet can't figure out that the way out is to lie her @$$ off - ugh girl! DUMB AS A BRICK.

Oh please don't be another romantic interest - you were doing SO WELL!!!

It's nice to see Jezebel's tie to her grandMOTHER. So many of these types of book make the female family members enemies.

Guys: I do NOT say this lightly, but this may well be one of the best YA Dystopians I have ever read. (And I've read my share.) Jezebel is smart, she knows her purpose and she isn't so absorbed with the boy that she shelves her own purpose for him (but yeah, she does get all fluttery over Sol).
