I honestly didn’t have very high hopes but it surprised me and I genuinely enjoyed it a lot! Obviously it’s a middle grade dystopian from the 2010s, but definitely one of the best of said genre that I’ve read. (As a scale: not as good as the Hunger Games but wayyy better than Rot and Ruin) I even enjoyed the romance!

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.25

This book was really good. It is both irritating and nice to have seen the movies. Some parts of the book seem less thrilling and tense because of how the movie was made. But it was still really good. Sometimes, having watched a movie or show before reading the source material, it can be hard to remember that the book is what is "canon."
