This book did not really do anything for me. I don't really care what happens to the characters or how it ends. At least, for the first book, I was curious to how Cia deals with the recordings of The Testing. I actually had to force myself to keep reading the book. The entire problem in the book was...

The main character, Cia, is just too perfect, but not in a good way! She never does anything wrong and doesn't have an...
