This book was an easy 5 stars and a super easy book to read! It has fully put me in the dystopia mood and I could t put it down.
I’m less than 300 pages, Marie Lu has created two very loveable main characters - a super-genius, super-athletic young girl looking to avenge her murdered brother and a notorious young boy who is the city’s most wanted criminal who had supposedly murdered said girls brother (among plenty other crimes). Both incredibly brilliant characters who are more equal in ways neither could imagine.
This book is so fast- paced and so action-packed you’ll finish it so quickly and before you know it, will be on to the sequel and within these 300 pages, Marie Lu has now made it into one of my must read/buy authors - I would genuinely read their shopping list!
