Among the land ravaged by the Red Death plague we have a village named Eden which is completely isolated and hidden from the different zones. Eden is run by corrupted and power hungry priests who believe everyone outside their village to be soulless. One of the main characters was trained as a Guardian and patrols the surrounding zones to keep the Soulless from finding Eden. Thats until a deadly secret forces her to run off into the zone with her younger brother and risk the plague.

The story has quite a few main characters but I thought the different perspectives helped the pacing and kept things from getting boring. It also helped me understand both sides of the story and added a lot of depth to the plot. The characters motivation made sense and I rarely got frustrated with their decisions. All the characters were compelling and well developped. Their backstory was woven in without slowing down the plot. Theres a great family element and the little bit of romance that was perfect for this story.

This thrilling dystopian world had some awesome action. There was always something entertaining going on. There was a clear objective but the plot still had some twist I didnt see coming. The concept was fascinating and the story was written really well with all the different threads coming together. This story captivated me within the first couple chapters and the ending wrapped up wonderfully. I cant wait for the sequel. I would recommend this to any dystopian lover. Not to mention the cover is amazing and totally relates to the story.

I will also post it in my monthly wrap up and a book recommendation post. I hope this helps. Thanks for the review copy. Im really looking forward to the sequel.
