Orion doesn't understand the rules, nor does she like them. This is a great lead in to the story. Why doesn't she like them? Has something happened to make it that way? Not at all. She just instinctively knows something is wrong.

She grew up with her family in this place called Dandux. They are a species called Dweller who believe they are being protected by this group of people known as The Constable. They are taught to only live in peace and harmony in their world, known as The Sphere, and anyone who shows even the slightest emotion otherwise or does something that the Constable decides is wrong is publicly hanged on Thursday mornings.

One evening, after she graduates from high school, Orion is with her friend Sage and they discover that the guards can go to this unusual place called "Earth." They have no idea what it is, but their curiosity gets the better of them and they go. Only for bad stuff to happen to them years later.

Orion is sent to this camp for Dwellers who have the capability of mind control. Here, she is going to have to learn to use her power to both keep the people in line and living in peace and harmony and also nudging some to do what are considered illegal things and be hanged before the general public. She hates this and doesn't want to do it.

I gave this book a 5/5 because I never would have seen all of the twists and turns coming in the book. I don't want to give away the ending by telling you what happens, you'll just have to pick it up and read it for yourself to find out. Sara Daniell has a way with telling this story that kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire thing. You absolutely cannot see what's coming, and even if you did you'd still be shocked. I loved the relationship between Sage and Orion. It reminded me a lot of my own with my best friends. Yes, we knew we were doing something stupid that was likely to get us into trouble...but we did it anyway.

When Orion meets Plath and he doesn't immediately kill her like all of the other Sphere Hunters do, you just know something big is going down. Why doesn't he kill her? It's not like he was ordered not to. He just...doesn't. It made no sense at first, but then when you get to the end it does.

I loved the way this was written and I would probably read it again after I finish everything else on my plate. It was fantastic and I loved the way it came out. Thanks so much to Sara for letting me review (and showing me how to put .mobi files on my Kindle).… (mer)
