lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

This book is really just a mix of Hunger Games and Red Queen, and like the author said, that is the intention. It was a light enjoyable read chock full of tropes. I am disappointed the book didn’t go deeper into themes that are present in its parent books, and that

there is no real kiss scene! Honestly if this books was spicy it would be a much worthier read.

But otherwise I did enjoy it and will probably read the next books in the series.
