Re-read this for the first time since it first came out and I still really enjoyed it!! Despite so many new distopian-type books having been published since 2014 when this was released, this still stands as a decent book.

I was on a distopian/sci-fi kick from the time of The Hunger Games until the time of Fifth Wave, so all of the books blend together for the most part, but as I was re-reading this I was able to recall some details that goes to show that this book was unique enough to stick out in my memory.

Of course the complexity of the plot line and such is lacking a little bit, but I credit that to this being a YA sci-fi book and also the fact that this is a series—the author probably didn’t want to get too deep in the first book so that there is still a lot to be left up in the air for readers to want to pursue the rest of the series. Also, it’s funny looking back and reading this because the author does a play on profane words and creates new words like “shuck”, “klunk”, “slinthead” and “shuckface” to keep this more YA; it’s something I don’t think I ever picked up on when reading this when I was younger. Don’t love that, but I do appreciate the fact that there isn’t profanity.

I have never read any other books in the series, but I think I’m going to now since it was never spoiled for me!
