  By the end I found I was frequently shrugging off elements that didn't make sense or were confusing, just to finish the story.

  I was waiting for the point in the book where everything would start to make sense for me, but it never really came together.

  Someone is going to have to tell me what the hell happened in this book, because I couldn’t follow any of it.

  Twists and turns abound, and I enjoyed the romance between Vi and Jag.

• Kirkus Reviews | 1 May 2011

  Moral subtlety loses out to breathless pacing; the ending is derivative of Scott Westerfeld’s superior Uglies (2005).

  I was super disappointed, because I love the author and Possession sounded like it had a lot of potential.

  Possession is a novel that stayed in my head long after I turned the last page. Probably because Elana Johnson depicts such unique, memorable characters.

  I’ve seen other reviewers complain of insta-love (something I also loathe), but in this case, I disagree. Vi and Jag are strong willed, independent main characters.

  In parts of the story a relationship between two of the characters started to develop. That’s fine and all but not when it just comes out of nowhere.
