by David Baldacci
Vega Jane is 14 and poor, parentless with a young brother John. The writer tried to give a otherworldly feel to the story. With light as day and session as year. The social structure is about upper class, working lower class and the ruling class the Council. Also, it is a sexist society where w...
This was a great read. I enjoyed several parts of this book, most notably the awesome monster creation (they were like these fantastical nightmarish beasts) and the world-building.

I finished this quite a few days ago, but was silly and didn't write a review cause I was feeling lazy. sigh, always turns around to bite me in the ass.

Review coming up!
I had come to learn that while Wormwood was full of many things, the truth was not one of them.And the truth was what I needed.I had nothing else left. I’ve always wondered who David Baldacci is.Okay not really. But it seems like every time I visit our local big chain bookstore, his books are out in...
