In the future, the difference between West and East are greater than ever. Europe has evolved into the (British) Isles and the (E)U, linked by a bridge, and immigrants risk everything to pass from the third world of the latter to the first world of the former. Mila has made it across, but the danger is not over, and as she falls into the hands of the Agents, she realises the real price of freedom.
This is a book full of momentum, and you read it with the same breathlessness Mila encounters. I got into it, but it took a while, and I think I’d had liked it that little bit more if we’d got off to a better start from page one. If you’re going to pick this one up, keep that in mind.
I’d like to thank the publishers for sending us a copy to review. We also have a review of [[HAV3N by Tom Easton]].
My all -time favourite teen dystopia of recent years starts with [[The Declaration by Gemma Malley]] Check it out!
