review Orleans is, hands down, the best book I've read this year thus far. I find myself at loss for words to describe just how much I loved it. In fact, I a Orleans is, hands down, the best book I've read this year thus far. I find myself at loss for words to describe just how much I loved it. In fact, I am still processing what I've just read, and the more I think about, the more amazed I become. The post-apocalyptic setting is absolutely stunning. The prose is so unique and intriguing - it elevates the story and puts you right in the middle of the disease-ridden environment. The premise is very original, there's no cheesy romance, the characters are one of the most interesting, realistically-sketched ones I've ever read about in YA lit, and the totally unpredictable, bold ending left me dumbfounded and with a hole in my chest. It's a story I won't ever forget. I wish there was more, I wish it wasn't the end. At the same time, though, this story is just perfect the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing. Full review to come, soon! :) ...more
