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.

if i could give this book anymore stars, i would. usually when i find a dystopian novel, it never fulfills everything i hoped it would be, but this book was above and beyond my hopes. the intricacies of ruby, liam, zu & chubs of how they think and how manage to build such strong relationships with each other in the way theyve been thrown together is amazing. also?? the world building? this book got me so involved into what was going on not just about the characters, but about the ones we’d never been introduced to. the whole set up is just amazing & this style of writing helped make it even better. this book will always remain one of my favorites and the book i recommend to others who want to read a magical realistic dystopian world.

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.
