The dark hills divide reflection

The Dark Hills Divide by Patrick Carman is a good book. It is about a 12 year old girl who is trapped inside a wall that surrounds her city, but when Warvold (the man who built the walls) dies her inspiration and curiosity get the best of her as she searches for a way out side the wall. There are many characters in the book, but the most interesting is Sebastian. Sebastian is a undercover convict planing to take over Alexa's (the main character) town, but you don't actually find out his true identity until the last few chapters of the book. What I like about the book is that the author(Patrick Carman) writes about a scene of the story witch intrigues the reader to want to find out how this happened. Then She goes on to tell how that scene came to be. I also like how The author chooses her words as it brings the book to life and intrigues you to want to read more. However I don't like how the author reveals Sebastian's identity so quickly. I think she should have said a bit more instead of getting to the point so quickly. Overall The dark hills divide is a good book and I encourage anyone who reads this blog to read it.
