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.
