Although the story I found did start off very slowly.. I was very confused about what the back story was and as to why she was captured for being an Omega. the main protagonist, Cass was annoying the life out of me with her reactions to her evil brothers antics, why is she so chilled about her brother ratting her out! I love her relationship with Kip and I love a story with a brilliant twist that you don't see coming and it defiantly pulled out all the stops in that sense. I'll defiantly be reading the second instalment in the series. I also posted a review on my blog. https://thinkbookreview.wordpress.com geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this richly imagined first novel in a new post-apocalyptic trilogy by award-winning poet Francesca Haig. Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that has laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair, one is an Alpha--physically perfect in every way; and the other an Omega--burdened with deformity, small or large. With the Council ruling an apartheid-like society, Omegas are branded and ostracized while the Alphas have gathered the world's sparse resources for themselves. Though proclaiming their superiority, for all their effort Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: Whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Cass is a rare Omega, one burdened with psychic foresight. While her twin, Zach, gains power on the Alpha Council, she dares to dream the most dangerous dream of all: equality. For daring to envision a world in which Alphas and Omegas live side-by-side as equals, both the Council and the Resistance have her in their sights"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

One thing I would mention is that it's not for the faint hearted. I tried to explain it to my fiancé and his response was that it sounds very morbid. In a way it is. It is a very dark world, with themes of discrimination and the extremes that people go to because of it. It reminded me a lot of Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting Go, to give you an idea of the level of darkness and themes. ( )
