Wow. I will be thinking about this book for a long time. It hit me almost in the same way as Code Name Verity, though the stories are quite different.

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

Overall ai really enjoyed the plot hut I felt like the romance, in a way, was unneeded but the story itself was good. Idk I am just finding it hard to really put how I thought about into words

People love this book but I thought it was just meh. I wanted more of life in the camp, the conspiracies and suspense.
