Synopsis

After escaping the city of Internment, Morgan and her fellow fugitives land on the ground to finally learn about the world beneath their floating island home. The ground is a strange place where water falls from the sky as snow, and people watch moving pictures and visit speakeasies. A place where families can have as many children as they want, bury their dead in vast gardens of bodies, and where Internment is the feature of an amusement park. It is also a land at war. Everyone who fled Internment had their own reasons to escape their corrupt haven, but now they're caught under the watchful eye of another ruler who wants to dominate his world. They may have made it to the ground, but have they dragged Internment with them?

Review posted here [URL not allowed] After reading the first book, which set the scenes up very well, I had quite high expectations for this one. I thought at last we would have the history behind this world revealed, but we didn’t. Instead I just got a well written description......more

Goodreads review by Victoria on October 21, 2014

How I love this book! Let me count the ways: 1) The return of characters I adore. 2) A fresh, new world and plot. No second book syndrome here! 3) Reveals that broke my hearts (in a good way). 4) Romantic tension that sizzles. 5) The dreamy, lyrical writing DeStefano is famous for. 6) Beautiful endi......more
