The concept of this novel captured my attention - young women are tested for a special ability and are auctioned off to royalty to be child carriers. Sounds strange right? The concept in the back of my mind reading this was always there and definitely colored my feelings reading this HOWEVER the writing was very well done and Amy pulled me into the world she created very easily.
Describing surrounding, feelings and observation from Violet's perspective. The story doesn't take place when she's first taken from her home, but instead is from just before she's auctioned off. Her thoughts on the whole process, with a few flash backs into her past on what happened through he testing and leaving her family. But not enough of flashbacks that you are confused by the timeline. Just enough to fill you in.
I really enjoyed this young adult novel and can't wait for the second book! (Cause I'm left with a ridiculous cliff hanger ><)
