Striking out into the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her, sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone survives only to be captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where women rule the men who drastically outnumber them, and a kiss is a crime. In order to see her sister again, Gaia must submit to their strict social code.
Definitely a satisfying sequel. I loved it as much as I loved Birthmarked. And there wasn’t a love triangle, but a love square! These are the best dystopian novels out there. Can’t wait to read the final installment, Promised, when it’s released this Fall.
