I feel as though this book gives a good look into what our future can hold for us, if we don't work on being better to our environment. There is always a divide between the rich and the poor, however it will only get worse if pollution gets to this extend. It was a very intriguing story and I enjoyed reading it. I feel like it ended opened end enough but also enough that I felt relatively satisfied, with its current ending and not sure where this second book is going to take it next. I think it could be read as a standalone and you would be good with the ending however I will try the next book as I am intrigued how they keep the story going.

this was probably the worst thing i’ve ever read in my life. the continuous mention of “breasts” was insane. expected of a male author, but of a woman? shocking, to say the least. felt no connection to the characters at all and it’s $17.99 i can never get back. a glorified wattpad novel, and i’ve read wattpad novels written better than this. a solid 1 star.

Really liked this one. Haven't read a dystopia in some time to it was "nice" to be back in this genre.
The characters were interesting (but a bit overpowered at some times in my opinion) and I enjoyed the different relationships.
All in all I can't wait to read more by this author!

I was really glad that Daiyu was kinda aware what was going on because otherwise the relationship between her and Jason would have been a bit too icky for meAll in all I can't wait to read more by this author!
