I’m so conflicted about this book. On the one hand, writing was meh, there’s plenty of cliches, and Violet is literally so infuriatingly dumb sometimes. There were so many instances when Violet is *shocked* by something I though all the characters already knew because it was super obvious. Also what’s the value in cadets being allowed to kill each other? Isn’t this country at war?? Don’t you WANT soldiers to make it to graduation??

On the other hand, it’s a pretty riveting read, worldbuilding is great, and the events at the end just made me SCREAM I had so many feelings so… I’m already on to the second book. :)
