Category
Sci Fi

Why I chose this book
Kindle First

My personal opinion (the review)
What a great story! I really enjoyed the pace, the futuristic setup, the class system, and the characters- they felt real. If it didn't have the sexuality, I would definitely recommend this to all- including YA readers

Warnings
Language: None
Violence: Regular, but not graphic
"Adult" situations: One explicit scene
Death: Yes, of mostly minor characters

Movie rating equivalent
R, for sexual situation

Protagonist description
Roselle has become more than what she was born as, and is taking a little time to grow into that new role

Point of view of story
First (sometimes third)

Book length
Medium

Story flow
Excellent. Except for one massive jump, one year into the future, at the end. It felt like the author was just trying to wrap up the story as fast as possible.

Grammar and spelling issues
None

Character connection (no spoilers)
None, for now

For series:
Independent or integral (stand-alone or back story dependent)
Integral

Series review as a whole
Great series. Got a little weirder with each book, but still good. I wish I could recommend it to a YA audience, but I can't

If you only have time for one, read: (which one)
Start at the beginning (Secondborn)
