Dove Arising is a dystopian novel that takes place on the moon centered around the character Phaet who has to make some choices in order to care for her family after her mother's arrest. For the first 1/3 of the book I was reminded a lot of the Hunger Games and Divergent. For example, Phaet is an underdog who works hard in her military training (Tris). She also has a male best friend who is interested in more (like Gale). It wasn't so much that I lost interest though. The story line developed and got more original as it went on. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the way it ended. It wasn't a book that made me think I wasted my time when I got to the end or that I stopped mid-book. I look forward to the sequel.
