Fabi lists this one as one of her 5 star favorite dystopian series and author K.A. Linde considers this one of her favorites too, saying:
K.A. Linde: …amazing worlds where something killed 90% of kids in a certain age range and the ones who didn’t die got awesome powers. They’re rounded up and sent to concentration camps of sorts. And it follows the girl who escapes and the guy she falls in love with.
Andrea: Maryse just finished reading Darkest Minds book 1. I would say it is comparable to Divergent, but very different. A great read. Thanks for introducing me to this new series!! Whoohooo! So excited to start book 2.
So I may hold off on the third until it gets closer to that one come out. The whole tarot card aspect is something I haven’t read before and it was done so well, it was just the thing I needed. You know when you have to switch up genres from time to time so u don’t get that burnt out feeling? At least I do quite often…anyway this series did it for me!
