I went in expecting this book to be a lot all the other fantasy books but it was more dystopian than anything and I loved it. It even got me to look past a double love triangle if you think about it and I HATE that trope 😅. It reminded me a lot of Hunger Games and even though I haven’t fully finished Game of Thrones I can see why people would relate it as such. The chapters were short and so it was easy to get through. I finished in 5 hours. I cannot read to read the next book in the series
