2.0

This book was marketed to fans of the hunger games and divergent. The only thing that puts the book in league with those is the divide between genders. This book started off ok, but by the end I was skimming the book just to get through it. I didn’t like the world building or the way each gender was treated in the two opposing nations. I just feel like this story could’ve been done so much better than it was. It was also very problematic. I will not be continuing with the series.
