My Verdict: 7.5/10
I have to say it: I am not a big fan of Young Adults novels, and being a dystopian novel is even more of a deal breaker. I feel like I've outgrown that genre (I'm 23), and that the genre has nothing new or fresh to offer anymore. I feel like YA/dystopian novels will never have something new to offer. To me, it's like an inflexible genre, that doesn't allow much originality other than the story, which become "slightly" different from other novels. The writing is sometimes the same, the themes and even the love triangles. Only the story changes, but its development is almost the same. But I think I may have to reconsider my views on YA now that I read Red Queen. I think there might be good YA novels out there.
