Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“We don't get to choose what hurts us.”</i></b></blockquote> I was a little afraid of this book because people either love it or hate it. Honestly, I understand both sides, and I fall in the middle - I neither love it absolutely, but I don't think it's as bad as some people say. I was really fascinated with the mutations, and the relationships between the girls in the school, which is undoubtedly the focus of the novel, and I wanted to know more about the Tox. But I think that's the book's first mistake - it focuses too much on the relationship between the girls, especially Hetty, Byatt, and Reed, all the while leading us to believe there is a mystery concerning the Tox and the army, except it never answers any questions and the 'mystery' aspect is often put aside. In the end, we never get a clear answer and, while I don't mind open endings, I would have liked to see a bit more, if only to explain more clearly a few things. The ending also felt a bit rushed to me. It's a good book, with good writing and great character development and relationships, but plotwise it was just ok. I would like to read more from this 'world', so I would love a sequel (or maybe a prequel explaining things?) for this one!
