The Pledge is the first book in a new dystopian trilogy. The concept is interesting and fast paced enough that I read it in one sitting, and the story’s fantasy elements set it apart from other YA dystopian books. The imaginative story is entertaining and full of adventure, which made for a pleasant...
“The pledge” è uno di quei libri che bramavo di leggere da lungo tempo e nonostante i dubbi iniziali, sono strafelice di averlo letto. So good!Ludania è governata da una regina che ha forgiato il suo regno sulla divisione in classi dei suoi abitanti e sulla loro impossibilità di parlare qualsiasi li...
This was a book that is hard to put a genre on, by the things we learnt, well by the sound of languages I would say it takes place on our little planet. But it can also just be that she used those words to make it feel more like home. It has such a fantasy feel to it, but then they got technology, s...

Once I started reading The Pledge, I couldn't stop! I didn't think that I would like this book as much as I did, because something about the description of the language barrier in the blurb didn't connect with me, but once I started reading Charlie's story, I fell in love with her character and had ...
It has been a long time since a book grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go until the final page was turned. I loved this story about a girl with secrets - dangerous secrets. In a society that killed those who got out of their place, Charlie is walking a fine line. She can understand all the l...
I have no words! Ok, I have words but for dramatic effect, I have no words… I absolutely loved this book. First of all, (yay!) dystopian novel, and second of all, going to be a trilogy. Music to my ears! The Pledge was just … wow! I was totally and completely swept up in the storyline. I could not p...
Read This Review & More Like It On My Blog!The Pledge was a struggle for me to read through, in several ways over several days. For all that I enjoyed the story while I was caught up in it and reading, once I'd set it down for the day, there would be a definite lull before I felt the urge to pick up...
This. Was. AWESOME! Max & Xander FTW. Charlie was cool too ;)--The story kicks off right away as Kimberly Derting throws us into this dystopian world that she’s created. There’s a lot of mystery during the first few chapters, especially surrounding Charlie, and even after we find out exactly what is...
Short and Sweet:Haunting cover. Languages. Dystopian! The Pledge had all the elements to make this an amazing read. To a certain extent it definitely was, but I think that in my head I had this book going in a completely different direction. More rebellion against the system. So the introduction of ...
