“Although this is undeniably a dystopia, it is filled with romance and beauty…”--School Library Journal

 “…this series practically begs to be a book club selection.” --VOYA “Fans of Kristin Cashore’s Graceling books should know about O’Brien’s writing: these are smart, tough romances.” --Booklist "Much like Birthmarked, Caragh again creates a vivid dystopian world that was so easy to imagine as the story goes on." - Mundie Moms blog  "Prized was an intriguing read that I didn't want to put down. Most of the characters are absolutely lovely, and the plot is one to get you hooked! I am eagerly anticipating the last book in the trilogy, I am very curious to see where Caragh M O'Brien will take readers after the unpredictable twist Prized ends with. " - The Book Cellar "Readers who loved Birthmarked by Caragh M. O’Brien will definitely not want to miss out on its sequel Prized, nor will fans of Shift by Charlotte Agell, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Delirium by Lauren Oliver, and Dark Parties by Sara Grant." - The Book Muncher
