Way Better than Twilight submitted by sdunav on June 18, 2013, 5:52pm This is a fun teen coming of age novel with a bit of romance. I don't think the title or the cover really do it justice - I know I wouldn't have picked it up if I hadn't really liked Larbalestier's other books.

There's a little gore, but this is way better than Twilight for the same age group. The characters are more complicated, there's racial and cultural diversity, and the girls kick ass.
