By Marie Lu *****In the Republic, June is a prodigy. Born into a good family and the only person to ever get a perfect score on her Trial, June was destined to be a great military leader. She lived with her brother, Metias, after their parents died in an accident. Day, on the other hand, was the Republic's most wanted criminal. He was born into a poor family from the Lake sector and was one of few others who failed their Trial. The two couldn't have been more different and had no reason to ever meet each other. But after June's brother is killed and Day is blamed, she must hunt him down. However, as they start to talk more they both start to figure out all of the secrets of the Republic that are kept from everyone, about the plague and the horrible things the Republic do to win the war. They find out how far the Republic will go to keep their name clean. Now June had to choose between what she was raised to believe or what she is slowly uncovering about her life.
I gave this five stars because I've never really read a book like this one. It was very action packed and had a lot of twists that I liked. It wasn't ever boring and I really enjoyed reading it. Throughout the book, you get to read from both June and Day's perspective which gave you a good understanding of what was going on in more than one place and let you see how different the characters were. I liked the entire storyline because it had a few surprises that kept you reading until the last page. It was also a smaller book so it was easy to read and didn't disappoint at all.

Reading this now Molly! Hope I like it~! X)
I enjoyed the concept of the book, but not the story. Its a cliche, young girl, talented and the only one apparently to stop this 'terrorist'. No one else could stop Day, a whole army, and they didn't even know what he looked like.
I might have been believable if they know what he looked like because it seems a bit more realistic.
