There's plenty of suspense, as well as a social commentary simmering beneath the surface of the story (the human rights of the lower classes are being ignored by the city in an effort to maintain its beautiful facade). “In lively prose laced with wry humor, Pierce creates realistic, dimensional characters-Tris is spunky, independent, and thoroughly likable-and places them in exotic, imaginatively detailed locales. It will stand well on its own, and it's also sure to satisfy Pierce's many fans.” - Booklist, March 1st, 2003“ In a series with so many predetermined factors, Pierce injects enough twists to keep the franchise fresh.” - Horn Book Publication date 2003 Topics Magic - Fiction, Fantasy fiction, Fantasy, Magic Publisher New York : Scholastic Collection inlibrary printdisabled internetarchivebooks Digitizing sponsor Kahle/Austin Foundation Contributor Internet Archive Language English. ![]() ![]() ![]()
