What I Liked: The book tried its best to stay true to the classic that it inspired it. There was a similar Gothic feeling to the story that I felt while reading Frankenstein. It was still there in the practicality with which one of the twins decides to hack a dead body and use the pieces from it. ...
2/5 starsGrowing up the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin was one I didn’t know very well. But once I began watching Once Upon a Time, on ABC I fell in love with Robert Carlyle’s portrayal.

The GoodThe "enemy" point of view. I love love loved the idea of telling the last installment in this trilogy from the point of view of a Global 1 (aka big brother) sympathizer. I hate it when books drum out the idea that everyone on the "other side" is evil, corrupt, and eats babies for lunch. Weyn...
The GoodThe writing, plot, and pace improvements. This book was such an improvement over the first book. The rebellion has finally ramped up and things are actually happening. The non-stop action and suspense really helped overcome pace issues the first book had.The genetics. I have only had one bio...
