The Start of a Another Great Series!

Lauren DeStefano's Chemical Garden Trilogy is a series that doesn't get enough attention.  I loved the Hunger Games as much as anyone and I liked Divergent and all, but Chemical Garden was by far and away the best of the dystopian fiction craze.  It was just awesome and I couldn't wait for each book. DeStefano created such a vivid world, and a frightening one.  Each of the three books had their own special flavor, too.  So I was super excited to see that The Internment Chronicles is out.  Perfect Ruin, the first one, came out last year and I didn't hear about it until I saw the second book up for review on edelweiss.  I didn't download Burning Kingdoms because I was working on The Mad Man of Piney Woods and Where I Belong and I'm just not a fast reader and also I wanted to read the first one first.  Now that I have, I really want to download Burning Kingdoms now! Again DeStafano has created another world that is other-wordly, but believable and characters that are interesting.  I have to say, I know they might be part of "the bad guys" but I really enjoyed the scenes with the King's daughter and son.  Looking forward to the next one!
