I am aware now that this book is the second in the series.
I wasn't aware when I bought it but I read it out of sync with the knowledge it was the second.
I considered waiting until I'd got hold of the first one.
I'd never read a series in the wrong order before (unless you count Animal Ark and I don't).
I decided I needed to see if it was worth buying the first one so I read it.
It was great. Compelling and intriguing.
There are some books where you fall in love with the characters.
Some the world they live in.
Other books you read just so you can know "what happens next".
While I was reading this I found the characters a bit distant. However that's probably my fault for not reading the first book where I hope our protagonist is introduced in more depth and also because of her (and many others) being "pretties".
The world the book is set in and the subsequent battle with authority is what intrigues me most and it will probably annoy me to have to go back and not forward in the plot when I read the first book.
I am looking forward to reading Uglies (book one, which I now own) and Specials/Extras which follow.
4/5
