Natalia Greyes is a resident of Dome 1618, a covered city protected from the deadly radiation that has poisoned the world outside for four generations. Nat never questioned the Order, until one day she sees a stranger on the outside of the dome. Now Nat wants answers. Is there life outside the dome and if so, what has the Order been hiding from everyone?
I didn't read the description to this book, because I normally don't gravitate towards dystopian books. I think it was the cover that sparked my interest in the book. For some reason I thought that this was going to be a contemporary romance, or something like that, wasn't expecting this book to be dystopian so it was an interesting surprise. This book was really unique. I loved how the author described this world, it was easy to picture what things where like or how they looked the way everything was written out. I found that once I started the book I couldn't put it down. I liked the characters and the story was well written. Overall I thought that this was a pretty good book. I really enjoyed reading it.
She lives with her husband and two daughters in the Land of Living Skies.
