Let’s get one thing straight, though: the writing is mad awesome. On the other hand, it had a lot of things that made me raise my eyebrow, want to bang my head on a wall, and gouge my eyes out. One one hand, I feel like it’s definitely unique and refreshing, partaking on a sci-fi idea and molding it into something new. Gah, I’m not sure what to think about this book. what world lies beyond the walls of their cage? Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so. And they have taken the five teenagers for an otherworldly zoo-where the exhibits are humans.Īs a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer-though that would mean leaving the others behind. But when their mysterious jailer-a handsome young guard called Cassian-appears, they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: Their captors aren't from Earth. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. And she isn't alone.įour other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora's past. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments-tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle, and a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures-all watched over by eerie black windows.

When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn't know where she is or who put her there.
