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.

I loved this book a lot more than I thought I was going to. The ending had me wanting to buy the next book...and I will be doing that very soon! Each of the main characters are super loveable and the whole set of characters in this book are very diverse. the ending made me mad.
