I shy away from that, a lot of the time- but this also sounds super unique, interesting and fresh, and I am wanting to fall in love with dystopia again. AND WHAT A REVIEW. All caps are totally needed because this is stellar, and I'm thrilled by how much you loved this! I'll keep an eye on it, for sure. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-15496330758402369882015-07-08T05:10:00.463+10:002015-07-08T05:10:00.463+10:00This will have you on the edge of your seat Eugeni...This will have you on the edge of your seat Eugenia, it's just THAT incredible.

I was not prepared for the awesomeness that is Way Down Dark. Actually, nothing could prepare you for how incredible it is. I haven't seen Snowpiercer, but going to jot it down and grab a copy.

Chan is the best heroine I've come across, she's tough, but still has this down to earth likability and risks her own life to fight for the underdog. By page twenty, I'd fallen in love with her character. I can't wait for you to meet her.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-28406712457059583742015-07-06T16:06:34.240+10:002015-07-06T16:06:34.240+10:00It is.

It's one bizarre, wonderful, totally bonkers movie that I'm still not entirely sure I understand), it probably is nothing like it, but that's the first thing that came to mind. Now I'm curious, will have to add it to the TBR :)<br /><br />- Wattle @ <a href="http://whimsical-nature.net" rel="nofollow">Whimsical Nature</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604160841896897039noreply@blogger.com
