Oh, I read this one! I loved it. (: There's a sequel coming out (I forget when) called The Island of Silence. I think. My brain's a bit fuzzy this early in the morning. :P
ReplyDeleteA fitting review, indeed. This was a quite imaginative book, and I enjoyed it.

Ah yes, The Unwanteds. I liked the book, but I didn't like how it was advertising a cross between the Hunger Games and Harry Potter (both of which I read) because it wasn't nearly as good as either one. But I did enjoy it and you're right, it is a very quick 390 pages. Thanks for reviewing!
