The Prime Minister, I have a love and hate relationship for. This book does have a little bit of a dark side, and I like darkness. I definitely starting thinking, 'Oh this book is going to be soo original!' Pawn did prove me wrong, in ways it sort of did sound like a typical futuristic novel, especially with the rebels, the blackcoats but this book did have lots of twists and turns that you wouldn't expect. In the beginning, Pawn did sound just a little bit like Legend. I don't know if that was just me, it seemed like every single time I turned a page, she was in an air vent. One thing that bugged me was, Kitty being locked up a lot. This idea of the main character not being able to read, I found fairly interesting. Another thing about Kitty is that, she can't read. The good thing is, is that it wasn't overly cheesy.

Kitty and Benjy do have a great relationship, but I can find things really cheesy and I think the way their relationship was written was just a little cheesy. She had a boyfriend named Benjy and their relationship is already quite strong and you got to read about it within only a few pages. Pawn is another novel where we have a very strong and smart female character. Overall though, it was still original and was an awesome idea. I thought that too for quite sometime, but then I realized, the book Uglies does that. The masking of Kitty to be transformed was a pretty cool idea, and to some people it may sound really original. In some ways, this book was basically a typical YA dystopian novel and in some ways it isn't. I do believe that as the books go on in the series they will get better, these books DO have great potential and the first book can always be the shaky end. Not that it isn't interesting, it was just a little bit of a let down. I will be honest, the first time I saw this in the bookstore with RQK we were very excited! We thought it sounded interesting.
