Book: Poster Girl
Author: Veronica Roth
Pages: 288
This is my 184th read for the year
This is the story of Sonya. Her family was part of the elite members of a society until the Delegation collapsed. Now she is a prisoner in the Aperture - a walled off city for the members of the Delegation who survived the uprising and were jailed. The rest of her family is dead. And she - the one time Poster face of the Delegation thinks this is where she will die. However - she is given a chance for freedom and to rejoin society. The brother of her dead fiance has given her a nearly impossible task to find a missing girl so that she can rejoin her family. This task leads Sonya on a path through the Delegation's past that she did not know about. And in the end she needs to decide for herself where her true loyalties lie.
I really liked this book. I thought it was well written and the story flowed well. I liked the characters, and there were a few surprises I didn't see coming. It is a short book, but she was still able to build a sci-fi world that was satisfactory to the reader. I knocked it a star because the ending was so unsatisfactory. I was disappointed - I was left wanting more. It kind of wraps up, but leaves you hanging and the epilogue is only 2 pages. A bit frustrating. But overall - glad I read this one.
