review 1: 5 Giant Beautiful stars for this book!! I loved every second and cannot wait for the next book to come out.I will admit that I was hesitant to start reading this book as it was heavily compared to Hunger Games which was just an amazing series and I was worried that this would be a knock-off of that. It wasn't. This story was similar in a few ways like having "sectors" instead of "districts", an evil all powerful government that rules the lives of all the citizens, and the part where a team from each sector fights. Those are the similarities and that is basically where it ends. In the Lotus Effect the teams do not have to fight to the death and they are fighting for a chance to change the law of the evil government. It is based solely on volunteers and isn't a raffle. Ther... moree are all kinds of exciting weapons to use etc. That being said, the main focus is not solely based on the fighting part of the story. This is not only a love story between xander and lily but a true heroic story of one girl who is struggling but has to become more and find the power within herself to save her people. I was so glad that the ending did not leaving me hanging too hard. For the most part the story in book 1 is wrapped up and the end gives you a taste of what to expect and look forward to in the next installment. I'm so excited!! Fantastic writing, fantastic characters that are easy to connect with, fantastic action, and overall fantastic reading experience. I will be recommending this book to my friends who I know will devour it as much as I did.
review 2: OH. MY. GOSH. Did I love this book! The characters were so awesome - I don't really know how to describe them other than that. I appreciated that while Lily was a strong young woman, she was also wiling to accept help, from Xander and others - I am so sick of the "strong" female character who lives so isolated from others because she is determined to prove herself! I enjoyed every moment of this book. At first I worried that there were simply too many elements involved, but Bridget Ladd's addictive writing managed to pull it all together perfectly. The fresh take on the steampunk elements made me super happy, and I will definitely be recommending this book to people I know! less
