The Books Conflict

The books main conflict was that when Day killed June’s brother Metias, she was devastated. Sadness and despair made her pledge to kill Day for he was a criminal already and she was out for the blood of her brother’s murderer. But in a twisted turn of events they end up falling in love and June and Day have to reconsider everything they thought they already knew. Together they discover a secret that will change everything as they know it and along with the help of Tess and the Patriots may just end up helping everyone turn against the colonies.

Moral of the story

What I learned from this story was that things are never as they seem. That being confused is okay, and it might help you make greater discoveries, than if everything seems crystal clear. Also that sometimes you can’t even trust what you have known all your life. And that you might even end up trusting someone that you thought you hated.

Recommend It?

Yes I would defiantly recommend this to my peers because it kept me guessing the whole book which is not an easy thing to do. It is a classic story of love and loss set in a not so classic setting. The post apocalyptic world has never looked brighter than it does now, with its future in the hands of the hero’s June and Day. I can see why it was an award nominated book, so yes I would vote for it as one of my favorites.
