The one that Tally lives in is located somewhere in what used to be southern California. In this version of reality, there is a new society of independently run city-states scattered helter-skelter across the seven continents. On first glance this doesn’t seem all that strange-what girl doesn’t anxiously await her sixteenth birthday? However, then Westerfeld shows us the details of the setting of the dystopia Tally lives in. Here we are introduced to the protagonist: Tally, a 15-year-old girl anxiously awaiting her sixteenth birthday. The first novel in The Uglies series shares this title and was originally published back in 2005. Perhaps most famous of all of his series, however, is also one of his oldest and, perhaps, the most fiercely dystopian: The Uglies series.

He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Young, gift-less Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. One in every hundred men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine. One in every two thousand women has the power to call down dragons. The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for almost two hundred years. ![]() Game of Thrones meets Gladiator in this debut epic fantasy about a world caught in an eternal war, and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I would be happy to autograph your magazine.” He took the journal and the pen they proffered and said, “You know, I must confess, this is the first time I’ve ever drawn the attention of ladies when in the company of my brother.

Rock snorted as the two shifted their attention to the Marquess of Ralston, a dazzlingly handsome copy of their prey, and tittered their excitement. ![]() “I would, girls, but you’ve got the wrong brother.” He pointed to Gabriel. “Would you be willing to autograph our magazine? ” “Indeed!” The second girl smiled broadly and stepped closer, holding out what looked suspiciously like. “We-” one of them began to speak, then stopped, uncertain.
