Withered

By Lauren DeStefano


The writing in this book were a step ahead of most YA novels. I really enjoyed that throughout the book. The story was also compelling as the nature of this new world unfolds. 


The book cover illustrations are so wonderful and fit the book so well. I don't think I ever quite got the title. The caged bird theme in the artwork suits the story well, while the relationship to "wither" is difficult to piece together.


I am skeptical of a sequel for similar reasons that I didn't love Crossed (sequel to Matched). But I don't want to give anything away. Read it and see for yourself!
