I mean i see why people would be comparing but I didnt think it was copy catting in any way. Two completly different books, if people really think its copying they should say The Hunger Games copied Bladerunner *chuckles* so many ideas have already been done before its just nice when an author can take an idea and put a wholly different spin and story to it.

I got it right after it came out, but haven't actually read it (story of my life, LOL). I've heard the comparisons to The Hunger Games, so thanks for the clarification, but I've also heard lots of comparisons to Pokemon. I've not had one thing to do with Pokemon, so I wonder how much that has to do with whether or not someone likes it. I guess I'll see ;) Great review!<br /><br />Jessica @ <b><a href="http://rabidreads.ca/2014/04/review-the-wicked-we-have-done-by-sarah-harian.html" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988042844960743101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472726634139621642.post-92051774688506562492014-04-19T22:52:02.896-06:002014-04-19T22:52:02.896-06:00It really is so I think you will like this one.
