It did not, they both take place in a dystopian future and the lead character is a strong female, but they are different. I enjoyed the originality of the world broken into factions and how fast the plot unravels - the pace does not let you put the book down. I am a bit afraid of reading the next instalment will not please me as much as this one has, but I must finish this trilogy. It was a pleasure to read this book.
