review 1: In the novel Winter's End 4 teenagers have a goal to escape from their boarding school. They are on a mission to find out why all their parents ironically get all murdered by the government. So they plan to escape but then they also have to keep in mind that anytime someone does something wrong another person gets blamed for that persons mistake and the other person is taken away to get punished.What will the boarding school do when they find out that these kids have a goal to escape?
review 2: To be fair to this book, I read a LOT of really, really good dystopian novels. So while this book wasn't the best I've ever read, it wasn't the worst either. The idea was good-children of rebels sent to boarding schools by oppressive government, break out, start a rebell... moreion. My interest was piqued at the beginning. Unfortunate, the book seemed to fall flat after the exposition. The dialogue and language seemed a bit stiff and unrealistic, but that might have been the translation. What annoyed me the most was the way the characters seemed to fall head over heels in love with each other after speaking two words, with no reasonable explanation or timeline. Afterwards, everything from the girls' points of view and from when the couples were together was more like a romance novel. The best part for me was when Milos was at gladiator camp, as it was finally the action I had been looking for in this type of book. And some parts of it were just ridiculous-I found the entire deal about Milena's mother's voice being the heart of the revolution quite ridiculous. All in all, it was a good idea that could have been executed better. less
