I also loved the whole mystery surrounding Metias's murder. I can't wait to see where Marie takes the story in PATRIOT.

Intense and heart-pounding and YAY for characters that rock and settings that are cool and world-building that is solid! Day and June both sound absolutely wonderful and if there's one thing that gets me, it's characters. PLUS, obv. in a dystopian, the world-building is pretty important (although I am so willing to excuse crappy world-building if I like the characters... my brain is like, "HEY, BOY I LIKED! WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT AN EXPLOSION THAT MYSTERIOUSLY ONLY KILLED POODLES AND NOTHING ELSE? OOH, LOOK! OTHER BOY I LIKED! HAHAHAHAH, HE SMILED! HE SMILED!!!!!") (Okay, maybe I'm not that bad. I hope, at least.)<br /><br />Awesome, awesome review :) I am so pumped to read this now. I think I shall purchase it tomorrow, as a matter of fact!Soniahttp://thestoryqueen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472660668173459751.post-9455744006980917352012-09-07T19:06:24.997+10:002012-09-07T19:06:24.997+10:00I really liked Legend so I'm glad to see you e...I really liked Legend so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it as well.

GO PATRIOTISM? :P Anyway, AWESOME REVIEW, Shirley! I think your edition should be the one where Day's POV is written in gold because you got the hardcover one? IT WAS SO PRETTY. I LOVE THE ALTERNATING POV and such! <3 LOVE LOVE YOUR REVIEW! <3Celinehttp://forget8me8not.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472660668173459751.post-72356580949424944132012-09-07T19:06:08.934+10:002012-09-07T19:06:08.934+10:00Oh my holy sweet goshness, I know, right??? I put ...Oh my holy sweet goshness, I know, right??? I put off reading this book at first two because I didn't expect it to blow me away -- especially with how many other dystopians there are out right now -- but it ended up being one of the coolest out there! I loved both Day and June for the same reasons as you, and the world building blew my mind. <br /><br />Just like this book, your review was so mind-blowingly amazing, Shirley! <3 If only the sequel was released yesterday! x)Mimi Valentinehttp://diminutivemimi.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472660668173459751.post-29584122445855551402012-09-07T19:06:06.977+10:002012-09-07T19:06:06.977+10:00OMG YESYESYESYESYES!!!

COMPLETELY agree with what you say about June and Day - they are such phenomenal characters. And the worldbuilding and intensity and... WOW. It's so emotionally investing and shocking and makes you THINK.
