Looking at reviews of this book it seems like this is either a book you adore or one that you don't understand at all. I'm in the don't understand category.

The premise seems good. A girl's family is killed and she goes on the run with the thing that they were guarding - a book. No one reads in this time so she doesn't know why the book is important.

Ok, that seems like a good start. But it starts to break down quickly.

I kept reading this book because I was certain it had to go somewhere and have everything tie together eventually. I was wrong. It wasted a great premise. This is supposedly the first book in a series so maybe it will all make sense eventually but I don't want to slog through more books to find out.This review was originally posted on Based On A True Story
