This book was a rollercoaster!
Pierce Brown holds my heart in his hands with this world he has build!
The character growth, the world building, everything! It's so impossibly hard to put this book down once you start, I've laughed and cried so much while reading this beautiful book and cannot wait to start the sequel trilogy and get my heart broken and rebuild again!

Scifi and dystopia isn't really my thing and I didn't think I was that into this series... Until I couldn't stop listening. 

It kept me engaged and guessing the whole time - just when I thought I knew where it was going, it would go in a completely different direction (but in a completely plausible way). 
I'm fairly certain that a large part of my enjoyment was due to how well the audiobook was narrated. Would definitely recommend.
