My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Genre: YA fiction, dystopian.
Synopsis:
Three hundred sixty-four days, seven hours, and sixteen—no, fifteen—seconds left to live. Like everyone else on the east side of the Wall, Parvin Blackwater has a clock counting down the days until her death. At only seventeen, she has only one year left.
When the authorities find out she has been illegally sharing a clock with her twin brother, she is cast through the Wall—her people’s death sentence. What she finds on the other side about the world, about God, and about herself changes Parvin forever and might just save her people. If she can get the word to them before her time runs out.
My Opinion:
Mild Spoilers Ahead.
I loved this book so much. I connected with Parvin right away, and was sucked into the story. I loved watching Parvin grow and mature throughout the story. I laughed reading this….I also cried…like a lot. It was cool to see Parvin’s relationships with Jude and Willow grow as well. I loved the friendship. They stuck with Parvin even when she was making dumb choices. They were so loyal. I loved watching it happen. I also really liked the Dystopian world. The idea of having clocks that count down to the day of your death really intrigued me. At first it sounded like a good idea, but slowly, the story starts to show why it is good that God hasn’t granted us that knowledge. I really liked the culture differences between High Cities and Low Cities, and between the East and the West. Also, the albino’s own dystopian community was intriguing and interesting.
If your a fan of Dystopian or Fantasy novels, I highly recommend! If you’ve read it, what did you think?
