Because Tintera wrote the Reboot duology, I figured Ruined was going to have more of a dystopian take. Ruined has The Winner's Curse vibe but Marie Rutkoski definitely does a better job with plot, characterization and dialogue.

And of course, the first book in the series needs to set up the plot for future books.Nicole's Novel Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071487616798553517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863194585372543392.post-65181696030181126122016-05-20T13:40:35.524-04:002016-05-20T13:40:35.524-04:00So . . .

(I thought it was going to be another kind of Dystopian near future one, I guess because it was another one word title?) I am much more interested in it now. It sounds a bit like The Winner's Curse and maybe, just maybe, like Nemesis (which is coming from Macmillan--I just got an ARC for it).

This sounds like a pretty good book. Kinda sucked that the romance was subpar, but I guess that's common in the first of the series. At least there's room for growth later on. ^-^<br /><br />Followed you via Bloglovin! <br /><br />Brittany @ http://www.spacebetweenthespines.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331104365268040514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863194585372543392.post-66749350531378167482016-05-02T16:26:40.108-04:002016-05-02T16:26:40.108-04:00I nominate you for the Sunshine Blogger Award!I nominate you for the Sunshine Blogger Award!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777684067943377497noreply@blogger.com
