I loved the premise but just felt like the follow-through was a bit lack-luster. There was so much happening, and so much crammed into the plot, but there were huge elements of this Utopian world with a rumbling dystopian underbelly that were kind of left unanswered.
That being said, I'm probably going to read the second one because FOMO
