Book Review – Perfect Ruin, by Lauren Destefano

Perfect Ruin (Internment Chronicles Series #1)

What’s it about? The people of Internment live an enchanted life. Everyone is matched up at birth with a betrothed, everyone has a job, and everyone is happy high in their airborne city. Just don’t try to approach the edge and look down to Earth. Trying to leave Internment will drive you mad, or worse, get you killed. Morgan knows all of this, and her life seems good enough. With a handsome and loving fiance and a decent life, even after her brother tried to jump off the edge and was blinded, her minutes tick on. When her classmate Daphne is found dead on the train tracks, it shreds the peace of Internment. The mysterious pages of Daphne’s secret essay taped up around school, questioning everything the people are taught to believe, rips the mask off Morgan’s greatest desire – to reach the Earth below. But will Morgan be made an example of, next? Who is she to question the will of the King, and the great god in the sky himself?

Should you read it? If you love writers like Maggie Stiefvater (Scorpio Races, The Raven Boys) or Catherine Fisher (Incarceron, Obsidian Mirror) you will absolutely love this book. Fantastical, whimsical and precisely written, DeStefano’s exciting first installment of this new series will keep your pages turning to the fascinating ending. I highly recommend it! I can’t wait for the next book to come out.
