This was an extremely enjoyable book. I am a twenty-something and I was enthralled....I had to read it before I gave it to my young sister as a gift....I wanted to be sure that it was a good book. I certainly did not want to give her something that did not represent the values that we have. The young girl Abbey rebels against going on the next mission with the sleepers, she is very vain and wants to stay away so that she can improve her appearance. There is a slight romance in the friendship between two of the characters -- however it is quite pure and fun -- conducted in a manner that shows mutual respect and shared beliefs, a very important thing to represent in this day in age. Although, I must admit that it may be my sense of romance that finds this. Anyways, the real point of the book is Abbey overcoming her vanity. She becomes a slave to the empress who has brainwashed her. This causes her to think that the empress is showing her "the truth" which is (as always when The Adversary is involved)a monumental lie. Only when the true prince of the underground society reminds her of the horror she saw when she first came causes her to come back to reality and find "Goel" in her life..... The rest....aah...the rest is for you to figure out... I would never give the ending completely away. I wanted this to be an outline of the important parts...not a plot summary....I may have failed! :)
I love it!!
