When I was in 8th grade (about 10 years ago), Unglies was my introduction to dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction. In my opinion, Impostors includes enough background information to make sense on its own. You don’t have to read the Uglies books first to understand Impostors, but there are some references to people, places, and situations from previous books. While Goodreads lists Impostors as the first book in a series, it is a spin-off from Westerfeld’s Uglies series and sometimes appropriately considered its fifth book. As the stakes grow higher and higher, Frey must decide whether she can trust him – or anyone in her life. Everyone thinks she’s her sister – but Col, the son of a rival leader, is starting to get close enough to tell the difference. Frey has never been out in the world on her own – until her father sends her in Rafi’s place to act as collateral for a dangerous deal. While Rafi has been taught to charm, Frey has been taught to kill. This is because Frey is Rafi’s double, raised in the shadows of their rich father’s fortress. but very few people have ever seen them together. Genre: YA science fiction/post-apocalyptic fiction
