So far, the book has been quite intriguing. The plot reminds me a little of The Hunger Games only much milder and as of right now, no one dies. For example, the people are set up into different numbers I guess you could call them, that determine the person's rank and job, and how it is a competition to be the prince's wife. Anyway, one thing that struck my interest while reading was a conversation between America and her brother Gerad. Gerad has yet to find his talent and explains to America that he wants to play soccer not paint or sculpt. America explains how it is their country's law and it is ultimately unfair (Pg 32). This is the first time in the book were we hear that the government is corrupt and unfair to it's people and it could be foreshadowing events later to come to reform the government. What do you guys think?
