Jayatissa has created a main character who’s first person perspective is unfiltered and fresh. The writing is brash, in-your-face, and unapologetic.

Many will be disappointed by it not be a sequel to The Giver, but this is still worth the read! Lois Lowry is a wonderful writer and I will continue reading the rest of the books in this quartet.

She was born with a defect that causes her village to see her as worthless. I'm an artist and while my kind of art wasn't really in here, I happen to appreciate all of the arts. I was able to tell that something was up with the village early on, but I was still very curious to see how Kira would react. Still, I found this book to be interesting. I know that these got published first, but it still prevents me. ![]() I couldn't like this a whole lot, just because I've read similar dystopians, same was with The Giver. ![]() She finds a new home, but begins to learn the truths of her village.
