Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
I snagged this book for $0.25 on Kindle! I had been wanted to read this book for a while and was happy to get it so cheap. This book definitely falls into the dystopian book category that I've been reading a lot of lately. I really enjoyed this book, although the ending felt a bit abrupt and rushed. It was still a good read.
There are two more books. Gathering Blue is the 2nd and The Messenger is the 3rd.
