☆⛤♥⭑plot⭑♥⛤☆
Rose lives in Noah’s Valley, an isolated, walled community where she has never really had a problem with her life. When she gets married, she is going to have to give up her trade (I don’t remember the exact word) of being an apothecary and join the Guardians, her fiance’s trade. However, on the day of her marriage, her mother is murdered and her brother is “harvested” (sent up to the roof of their village). Rose is devastated and starts investigating and realizing that some things just don’t make sense.

Rose was a great dystopian main character! She was curious without being stupid and risking too much. She knew when to keep quiet and when to investigate more.

If you like dystopias, strong characters, and high-stakes action, you will love this book!
