Emily O'Beirne is a masterful writer, every single one of her books blows me away for so many reasons, dialogue, characters, tension, everything is hands down done to perfection. There is not a review that will do it justice, I will try, but I promise you it will fall well short of conveying how awesome this book truly is. Now I just have to gobble up as many other books by O'Beirne, that I can get my hands on.Īn ARC was given to me by YLVA, for a honest review.Īh-freaking-mazing!!! This book is beyond good. I have been reading some really mediocre books lately, I am so happy this book was the opposite and so wonderful. I find it harder to write a review when there is nothing to criticize, and I worry I won't do the book justice. You could absolutely feel the connection the characters had. Even though it stayed more in the PG range, it was perfect for this book. The characters acted and sounded like teenagers, but the story was written in a way for an adult to enjoy, the perfect balance. Her thoughts and feelings about Finn, were just so sweet and genuine. Once we got into Willa's head-space, I loved her character. I loved Finn immediately, but wasn't totally sure what to think about Willa. I loved seeing the inner most thoughts of both characters. What I really enjoyed about this book was the first half was in the head-space of Finn, the second part was Willa. Can they make it together, or will the will to win, tear them apart? While their feeling grow stronger, the game starts to get in the way.
Willa can come off a bit of an ice queen, but shes smart and sweet and Finn likes her. Finn slowly gets to know the leader of an all girls school group, Willa. It's all up to Finn to make sure her people can survive. They have no territory and are stuck camping in tents, unlike the other groups. Finn, is the leader of the worse off group.
Each group is broken up into territories, some dictatorships, some democratic. The camp is broken into groups, by the schools they go to. This book is about a group of students, who go to a camp for future leaders. This was really well written, and a joy to read. I had a stupid smile on my face for most of this book. What a wonderful YA novel! In fact one of the better YA books I have read in a while.
