About this title

Review:

""Icons" is epic in scale and exquisite in detail-a haunting, futuristic fable of loss and love." "Ally Condie, author of the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Matched"""

Praise for "Icons"
"Fans of Stohl's "Beautiful Creatures" series will find many of the same elements here -- paranormal romance, a fast pace, and intriguing characters -- but within a distinctly science-fiction setting. The strong messages of questioning authority, daring to resist injustice, and loyalty to one's group will resonate with teens who loved "The Hunger Games."" ""Booklist"""
