Everything you need for a YA dystopian novel. Very cool and loveable characters, a ton of suspense and danger, and a wild adventure the whole way through. The friendships were developed in a really lovely way, which is something I love to see. The violence of all kinds in this book are absolutely brutal to read and at times, a little too much, but I stuck around for the strength of the characters and their journey.

tbh i was doubting the book bc i couldn’t get into it for the first few pages but i forced myself to sit through this and i am not complaining. was literally on the edge of my seat every page, and i really, really love the characters and was instantly attached to them. 

teared up a bit with that cliffhanger, and i am still crying rn so i’m really looking forward to the next one!!
