It is Hunger Games meets the movie Inception. I was annoyed in the beginning of the book trying to keep all the rules and stereotypes straight. I liked the kick-ass girls and the mother who was not who she seemed. It made me want to get tattoos and jump off of buildings, which is probably not the point. I'm not going to be dying to read the next one,but will anyway. I know myself too well. I also liked the aspect of finding out your gifts, true self and true intentions.
