Why I Want to Read It: The Synopsis says that it is a "riveting story of survival, courage, and romance" so that sounds like a pretty great mix to me. It seems a bit like another Hunger Games, though the idea of it sounds even better to me (I am not the biggest fan of THG books, if I'm being honest). I like the idea of the LTs and Sisters coming together to fight the government and what not. Who couldn't use another YA dystopian trilogy? They're my jam!
Synopsis: A hot debut trilogy and a
riveting story of survival, courage, and romance in a future where
creating a master civilization is the only thing prized, no matter the
method. After the Omega (the end of the end), 16 year old guys known as
LTs discover their overseers are raising them not to be soldiers
(lieutenants) as promised, but to be sold as bait because of their Less
Than status and hunted for sport. They escape and join forces with a
girls’ camp, the Sisters, who have been imprisoned and experimented on
for the "good of the Republic," by a government eager to use twins in
their dark research. In their plight for freedom, these heroes must find
the best in themselves to fight against the worst in their enemies.
That's all I have for this week, but it seems like a great one!
I've been looking forward to this one too. it sounds like a typical dystopian novel but it does have its unique side. the idea of LTs, Sisters, and the whole hunting the LTs as a sport really just set this apart from its genre for me.
