Prized by Caragh M. O'BrienMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I first picked up Birthmarked, I was in a reading slump and the synopsis was was the first to ignite my interest in quite awhile. From the first page I was hooked, and upon finishing I was eager to begin the second. Prized, the second book in the Birthmarked trilogy, did not disappoint.
Young Gaia Stone, along with her newborn baby sister, Maya, have been traveling through the desolate Wasteland for about a month. One day, when Gaia thought all hope was lost, she and Maya are rescued by a young man on horseback. They are then taken to a small town called Sylum. The town is ruled by women, and men are subservient.
Learning to adapt to this strange new town is no easy feat for Gaia, as she is forced to change her entire way of thinking. When a person from her past shows up, it throws the entire town of Sylum out of balance, and it is up to Gaia Stone to put it right.
