My Rating: C+
The basis for this story is Alice Through the Looking Glass. Only barely, though. It's a true YA Dystopia, so if you like those, I definitely think you'll enjoy this. The world is interesting, though so far, there hasn't been a lot of explanation as to how this change in humanity occurred. I think there may be a slight implication of nuclear fallout or toxic pollution, so that may be how this happened. I'm currently listening to the second book, and they're starting to find the others like Mare. I'll be curious to see where this one goes.
This one is for those of us who love the YA Dystopia genre. If you're not fond of those, you may not enjoy this one.
