My Review:
I am always a bit hesitant to read dystopian novels because the topics are far fetched and ones that don't seem to interest me in the least. I loved the Hunger Games along with Divergent and Insurgent, all of which are dystopian novels, so I was willing to give Terra a shot. Just like the other books I really enjoyed this one. I found that it was easy to relate to the characters. Terra is independent and courageous and has to become the caregiver for her younger brother at an early age. I was captivated by the interaction between Terra and Adam. as well as Terra's fight against the government. Towards the end of the book things begin to unravel, revealing more about who Adam really is and the danger the government is causing when all too quickly the book ends. I am anxiously awaiting the release for book II so that I can continue to read more of this action packed trilogy.
