4.5

4.5 stars rounded up! I went a little outside of my typical genres of thrillers/horror to try out this dystopian fantasy adventure novel and there are a lot of things I really like about it. The writing and character development are amazing. I love the themes that are touched on in this book as well including girl power, loyalty, and standing up for what is right. Klarke is a wonderful, strong protagonist and she makes this book even more enjoyable. She takes a stand for what she believes in regardless of the possible consequences and she is admirable. This is a great book for fans of The Hunger Games. The pacing of this book is medium I would say, but it felt like it dragged at times for me, since I am typically drawn to faster paced reads. Overall, this is a great book packed with great themes and I recommend it!
