French has managed to create an intriguing world with loveable characters with an atmosphere reminiscent of Divergent and Scythe
The first few chapters were a bit rough to get through, but the story really picks up after that. My curiosity was definitely the main driving factor to keep going in the story, however, the ending fell a bit flat for me.
The LGBTQ+ representation was done so well in this story. I feel very represented and seen in the way she incorporates sexuality so casually into the story.
Some parts of the story can feel a bit instalove-y in the beginning, however this is explained later in the story and can also be attributed to the fast pacing. I also experienced whiplash when the character moves to another alpha class, but I think this might have been intentional to simulate the way he feels.
You can tell that the author knows how to write, but some passages could feel a bit clunky. But overall a very impressive book for a debut author. This book really reignited my younger interest in Dystopia. I really hope to see more instalments in this world, because I have so many unanswered questions.
