This is a great book for any fantasy lover. Victoria Aveyard has done a great job being descriptive and really painting a picture of this intricate fictional world. It's similar to The Hunger Games, therefore I highly recommend Hunger Games lovers to check this one out. It has a similar concept of districts, where there are different levels to status. The main character, Mare, is a low status resident who looks for a job.

       I’ve got a secret: I’m a Harry Potter fan. I’m not a Potter-head, but I can easily pick up a Harry Potter book and immerse myself in the world of magic. Most readers know how fun JK Rowling’s world is, but some new readers might be a bit shy when it comes to picking up these books. To those who are hesitant to read these books, let me tell you: start reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone immediately.
