Possession made me remember why I love dystopians so much. I love the crazy worlds, the creepy governments, and just figuring everything out and how everything works in these new worlds. And Possession was such a world building treat! It was the perfect mix of mystery and detail.

Vi is so spunky. I loved her, she has a lot of spirit. They called her a "free thinker" and they said it like such a bad thing. And free thinking is a very bad thing for the government. They put everything into very neat categories for the citizens so they don't ever have to think too hard about anything. There are the "goodlands" and the "badlands" and "goodies" and "badies". Vi gets sent to the badlands and even though she is very scared about it so knows that she isn't going to back down about anything. That was what I loved about her- she never gave up. I would hate to see that spirit of hers broken.

Jag is just as adorable as Vi. I was pretty much always on team Jag. Even when Vi talks about all the great things about Zenn, who she has known her whole life, I just kept thinking that he was boring. I never really liked him, even as a friend. Jag was like an onion. Everytime he was alone with Vi he would share something new about himself. I found myself looking forward to those scenes in the book.

Possession is a whirlwind on the run adventure that kept me turning pages until the very end. I loved Elana Johnson's writing style. It was very swift and poetic in a way. I loved how she described everything with the thinkers and the government and she still found ways to surprise me and keep me guessing. The ending of the first book made me a little sad though. Possession is a great start to a series and I can't wait to read Surrender.
