I was not expecting it to be ... *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2017* Review originally posted on lysskreads.wordpress.comAlright, let me make this painstakingly clear.. this is basically dystopian Gossip Girl. To a freaking T.AND I LOVED IT. I was not expecting it to be a one day binge read, at all. I started it on break at work and basically had to force myself to work instead of read for the rest of the day. I can’t say I was successful considering I finished it same day.So just before we actually get into everything I liked about it, I feel the need to bring up something very important:Yes, there is an incestuous romance. Do I care? Not really. Do I agree with incest? Never in a million years. You’ve got to realize though.. I am completely and utterly OBSESSED with Game of Thrones, which is chalk full of incest nasty. In The Thousandth Floor, it’s a romance between a girl and her adopted brother. HOWEVER, the fact that there is no blood relation does not make it less disgusting. But hey, McGee doesn’t say it’s okay in the book. You are reading from the POV of the girl in the relationship, so obviously there’s self-doubt, there’s a battle to get over her forbidden feelings, but there is also defeat and acceptance that she can’t change those feelings. What a lot of people forget to mention is that it also shows the POV of someone outside the relationship that finds out about it and that character literally has to force himself NOT to vomit and throws himself into a drunken stupor because it’s so disgusting. If I found out the guy I was crushing on was sleeping with his sister, I’d react the same way. McGee shows both sides. She isn’t hanging flyers trying to convert everyone over to the incest-nasty dark side.Now that that’s settled.."He didn’t know whether she’d fallen, or been pushed, or whether—crushed by the weight of unspoken secrets—she’d decided to jump."That prologue! There really isn’t a more fantastic way to start a book than with a mysterious death because you HAVE to know: What happened? Who was it? WHO DID IT?!The Characters:Leda- Crazy, crazy, crazy.. I felt bad for her throughout the majority of the book. I had really hoped that Avery would be the one to break because she just seemed too.. perfect (Well, if you can forget the whole incest thing). But Leda really blew everyone else out of the water with that nutso level.Avery- Meet the IT Girl, the Serena, the Barbie Doll designer baby that hates to be told just how perfect she is. Basically, the only interesting thing about her is that she loves her brother in a very non-brother-sister way.“On the other end of the call was Atlas, her brother—and the reason she never wanted to kiss anyone else.”BLEHK.Watt- Hacker boy with an AI system attached to his head. Watt (Nadia) gets hired to cyber stalk Atlas (Avery’s brother) by Crazy Leda, which leads to all kinds of unexpected trouble. Like falling for Avery, who loves Atlas and is best friends with Leda, who also loves Atlas. I think I actually liked Nadia more than Watt. Can I have more AI in The Dazzling Heights, please? HahaRylin- Poor, tough Rylin. Totally rooting for Corlin! Rylin gets caught between her drug dealing ex-boyfriend and bailing him from jail, and Cord, her highlier employer and the guy she finds herself falling for.They’re all so different from each other and it was so refreshing. I often find that when there are so many POV’s, they have a tendency to run together. I didn’t have that problem at all with The Thousandth Floor.Obviously the whole book leads to that moment we’re all waiting for.. Who was the girl that fell? Did someone kill her?The fact that I need The Dazzling Heights as soon as possible should tell you that I really enjoyed this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable *by A***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2018* I originally picked this book up because I loved the cover so much. I had put off starting it since it's part of a series. Now that the third book is getting ready to release, I decided to start it. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to get from it. I had my reservations. I don't typically read books set in the future. I am not a big YA fan, although I have read some. Then there was the long list of main characters. I wasn't sure I would be able to follow the book.This book starts out with a big bang, giving you the main climax of the story. Then goes back to how the dominoes started to set up and fall down leading up to the climax. I was hooked from that opener. I wanted to know who was involved and why.The book moved with a great pace. Giving you both plot and character development piece by piece. With each character's story you not only get to know them, but you are getting sections of a web that will eventually become complete by the end of the book.I really enjoyed this book. I have read some of the reviews since I finished reading it. I have to say, people are a little too picky and way too hyper-sensitive. This is a work of fiction. The author did a great job at creating realistic characters in realistic situations given their age and status. There are some great subject themes in this book. From the rich and entitled to the under-class and hard working. The blending of all of these characters fit well into the story that is being told. I don't think this story would have worked without any one of them.I did want to hit on a couple of things that this book seemed to get some flack over. (Just know I am rolling my eyes over these.) First, is the budding romance and attraction between two characters who are adoptive siblings. This is technically NOT incest. Is it questionable? Okay, sure. But incestual? Hardly. I mean, sure they are legally brother and sister, but biologically, they are nothing to one another. It's no different than same-sex relationships. One can't help who they are attracted to or fall in love with. It's a natural attraction. They share no blood or genes. It isn't romanticized like some have accused. In fact, they both fight the attraction. They try to deny it, ignore it. I think some reviewers need to get be more open to fiction that could actually be real.The next I want to address is the LGBTQ insensitivity. I didn't see it. The relationship that develops is natural. And the handling of it is REALISTIC. These are teenagers. They are confused and full of hormones. I am not sure what the hyper-sensitive reviewers think should happen with immature teens who are confused with what they are feeling, but clearly they are a bit delusional. I think the author did a wonderful job with setting up societal, socioeconomic, and culture themes well in this book. Were these characters irrational and immature? Absolutely. They are TEENAGERS, hence their teenage behavior. They problems and their emotions seemed spot on to me. Sure, some were a bit exaggerated, but this is fiction.Overall, this book was a really good book. My reservations were a bit unfounded. I had no problems with the things I thought I would. I really enjoyed this book, and I am looking forward to reading the next two books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book Inside and Out *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2016* I've said it before but I so judge books by their cover, and rarely fully read descriptions. Most of the time this works out in my favor, and sometimes I get phenomenal results...Just like I did with The Thousandth Floor.Someone sold this book to me as Gossip Girl meets the future, which is somewhat true. The Thousandth Floor is set 100 years in the future, where the gadgets are slightly more advanced and the teens are still up to no good. I appreciate the setting that Katharine established - it's not unrealistic to expect the world to look just as she's set it out. Everything is a bit more automated (for those who can afford it) and it's inconvenient to go out in the world when everything is self contained and regulated within the tower.Personally, I read the hell out of the Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars series. But The Thousandth Floor is so much more than the petty drama that often occurred in Gossip Girl. Written in four perspectives, you'd think things would get pretty jumbled but they never do. I was on board the whole way through and always felt like I knew who was where and doing what. The Thousandth Floor makes you care about all of the characters, even the ones you really don't want to like. I was terrified of the path they were headed down, worried about the choices they made. Sometimes I wanted to yell at the book - WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Alas, free (book) will persevered, to the dismay of all of those who interacted with the four main characters.The one thing I hope we get more of in the future is the history of the tower. This is a pretty unique structure (one of a kind, actually) so I want to know more about how it came to be and its dark history. With 1,000 stories within this world, I imagine 1,000 stories is not out of the realm! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/43190960-the-thousandth-floor-a-new-york-times-bestselling-ya-thriller](https://www.desertcart.us/products/43190960-the-thousandth-floor-a-new-york-times-bestselling-ya-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
