The only book paralleled by this one is Jennifer A. Neilsen's The Shadow Throne. This book's writing style is impeccable. I was blown away by the story. At times I was physically reacting, I have never covered my ears when a character screamed in a book yet I found myself doing that last night. I enjoyed the subtleties of real-life actions such as the characters throwing their hands out and hitting something occasionally. The setting is like a medieval world set in the future, exactly what I am looking for. This book is amazing and I am definitely going for the second.
Thank you Veronica Roth. I aspire to be an author like her.
