I. LOVED. THIS. SERIES. The only thing I will say, though, is that the first couple of chapters were a little bit slow, but once you get past those, it's GREAT. And, I really never read books that don't have at least some amount of romance in it, but this book was really good! Even though it had a little bit of it, it wasn't like it was terrible because it was barely there. I think it was a little bit refreshing, maybe, to read a book that was mainly focused just on the adventure side of it, rather than it being split between adventure and romance. But, either way, it was really good, so you should 100% read it!

This book out of the main three is definitely my favorite. I read these books before I watched the movies. I had a friend tell me that if you watch the movies before you read the books it’s not as enjoyable. Personally, if you enjoy books like the Hunger Games, the Divergent series, or dystopian future books in general then this is 100% a yes to read.

This series is close to my heart. Middle school me was not really to interested in books (not counting manga) and this series changed that. I reread it a few years ago when the fever code came out and it  was still good but had its issues.

I would recommend this book for people who either want an easy series to digest with a few twists in the story or for middle-high school students who are interested into getting into reading or just want a cool sci-fi book to read.

If I could make a comp to this series it would be if the hunger games but more geared towards a male audience. Great series to check out.
