The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe

Poe and Call were orphans toiling in the Outpost, just waiting for their chance to get on a mining ship.  It would be easy to slip away, to find another life.  There had to be something better.  But on their first voyage, Call was killed by Raiders.

Poe lost everything, and now she only wants revenge.  She quickly became one of the Admirals favorites with her designs for armored mining ships.  Her goal is to kill as many Raiders as possible.  They don't deserve to live.

Suddenly the Admiral promotes her to captain and sends her off on what will be the final mining voyage.  All she has to do is collect gold and make it back safely, but nothing goes as planned.

The ship is under attack, and there is a traitor among her crew.  Now Poe must confront the truth about her world, the reason she was sent on this journey, and what she has become.

There are a lot of things I really like about Ally Condie's newest book:  action, heartbreak, a strong yet flawed heroine.  But there is just something that didn't quite work about this novel.  Maybe the pacing was off?  I was excited to read it, but I just found my mind wandering.  I have talked to other people who loved it, so this may just be one of those either/or books.
