İçerik hakkında fazla bir şey söylemek zorunda değilim, omurgadaki açıklamanın yeterli olduğunu düşünüyorum ... her şey sadece okurken öğrenilmelidir;) İlk birkaç sayfadan hemen sonra hevesliydim ve her zaman nasıl devam edeceğini bilmek istedim ve tabii ki güzel bir romantizm bekledim ... Kitabı indirmedim ve bugün yüzümde kocaman bir gülümsemeyle bitirdim ... mücevher üçlemesinin coşkulu bir hayranı olduğum için, bu kitabı satın almak zorunda kaldım sadece okumak ve pişmanlık yok ... aslında 4.5 yıldız vermeyi tercih ederim çünkü romantizm benim için biraz geç başladı ama aksi halde şikayet edecek bir şey yok ... Sık sık güldüm ve sonundaydım çok memnunum ... Umarım bir devam filmi izler, çünkü epilogdan sonra düşünebilirsiniz ... sadece tavsiye edebilir;)

When earth became uninhabitable, the rich decided to pack up and head into space. Realizing they needed laborers to build the ships and their new homes, they brought along indentured servants creating instant hierarchy and discord. To placate the lowborn, the rich created another race to serve, these were the the Tankborn (rather than natural born). These new people were enhanced with animal dna and programmed with special skills that could help them in their labors. Kayla is a tankborn and at the age of 16 she is assigned to help an old man with his basic needs, but things are not what they seem and Kayla finds herself in the middle of a quiet revolution that goes against everything she's been taught. Tankborn has a good balance of explaining the science behind the world and character development. The class unrest and profiling felt very probable to me and everything was easy to follow. The story was full of twists and I never felt like I knew what was coming, so it kept me interested all the way through.

A non-fiction work (2003) by Eric Larson about the Chicago World's Fair (the White City) creator Daniel H. Burnham and a serial killer, Herman Webster Mudgett, AKA Dr. H.H. Holmes. What I liked most about this book was the picture of a rapidly changing world at the turn of the century. It is always so interesting to realize how much was changing; the inventions, the industrialization of food, social behavior and transportation among others. It was also interesting to realize how much impact the Chicago World's Fair had on the United States. So very interesting. I did not like like learning about the sociopath but was also so surprised at how much the information about this infamous man had really been unknown to me.
