Shatter by Aprilynne Pike
4.0

I liked the first book, Glitter, a lot. I loved this futuristic world where this rich population tried to live like the historical era of Marie Antionette, yet had the latest technology despite that. This second book was a good conclusion to the story, although it didn't quite have the little extra for me that the first book did. For awhile in this one I thought that the main character, Danica, might actually turn out to go down a different path to finish the story. In the end though, she went where she should have gone. And the way that she was able to outsmart her enemies was a little bit of a surprise, I didn't quite see it coming in some ways. And I like that in a book. Still a great series, and there were even more historical bits spiced throughout this one as well as the first one. A duology I've purchased for my school library, as I think my students will enjoy it. And, as with the first book, a beautiful cover!
