In the home stretch now. No zombies yet (or at all, probably), unfortunately. I'm dreading the inevitable cliffhanger ending. I guess that's what I get for buying on impulse and not finding out that it has a sequel first, though I have no idea what made me think that a YA Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel would be stand-alone. Do those even exist?

The gap in enjoyment I'm getting from the two different stories in this book is getting wider. Finn's storyline is exciting and tense, but Claudia's storyline, while providing much needed contrast in pace and is certainly not bad, is getting to be a bit stale.

Going into this book, I was expecting a Fantasy tale, but there's heavy amounts of Sci-Fi here. So far, I think it would best be described as Science Fantasy; something I wish there was more of.

I found this book on the "If you liked The Hunger Games you'll like..." shelf at B&N. Considering the ratings I've given the books, you can certainly say that I "liked" them and I'm pretty sure I can trust Barnes & Noble. It's not like they're some big business trying to make money by lumping a bunch of books together simply because they're YA novels in an attempt to cash in on Collins' success, right?
