Scott Westerfeld has done it again! With a cliffhanger ending, this has to be the first of a new series set in the author’s “Uglies” universe. Frey and her twin sister are inseparable — in private. Rafi (Rafia) is the face of her kingdom and the presumed heir to their domineering father. Frey has been trained to fight to protect her sister from assassination and as a body double. (An heir and literally a spare!) Frey is sent as Rafi to visit a neighboring city-state and quickly realizes that she is being sent as a hostage to insure negotiations between her father and the Palafox family go as planned. When Frey’s father leaves Frey for dead, she joins forces with Col Palafox to get back to her sister. A page-turner set in a future world of hoverboards, crash bracelets, and spy dust. Sure to be a hit with fans of Divergent and other fast-paced dystopian series.
