And...That front cover really captured my attention! And I've never read a book about a daredevil mobile racer before! I'm a big fan of descriptive action scenes, so have a feeling I would really enjoy The Ward.<br /><br />It's such a shame about the world-building though. For me, the best thing about a dystopia is the world the author has cleverly managed to create.

I feel like the world is unclear. I agree that the world isn't a vivid as expected. Also, I don't like the way Ren talks. You know when she says stuff like, "ain't, gotta". I'm not a huge fan of such language for some reason.<br />Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it although you Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-4373891398343160062013-04-02T21:04:18.372+11:002013-04-02T21:04:18.372+11:00I'm eager to see what you think Molli, it was ...I'm eager to see what you think Molli, it was an interesting premise, I just wanted that wow factor.Obsession with Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866538237890994901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-34918271513069574872013-04-02T21:03:27.920+11:002013-04-02T21:03:27.920+11:00Thanks Andrea, I usually enjoy a good dystopian bu...Thanks Andrea, I usually enjoy a good dystopian but the past few have fallen flat which is a shame.

It does sound really intriguing, and I'm glad it's just a two-part series and not a trilogy or a longer series - those are harder for me to get invested in these days. I'm glad you liked it, Sharon!
