It's a fairly good YA book - written in a duelistic narrative (Marina and Jed's perspective swaps back and forth each chapter.)
My only complaint is that the perspective is almost TOO real, with the blindsides and misused words that the 13/14 yr old nieve narrators would actually use writing their story.
That, and after building all kinds of wonderful tension - it climaxes, and ends. (guess I'm just used to a coda/post-script.)
Definately recommend for YA - but not so much for adults looking for 'ageless' reading (Like Holly Black, Francesca Lia Block, or J.K. Rowling.
