I liked the characters decently and loved the idea for the plot, but the writing is pretty bad. For example, I understand that June and Day are supposed to be smart, but it gets to a point where it's annoying how quickly they solve things. There are also some parts where it's super analytical and boring (not a direct quote, just an example of a similar scene: "We were moving at x feet per second. We needed to travel x feet. But the 23 soldiers were moving faster than us, and they'd catch up to us at x feet.")
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Gun violence, Torture, Blood, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, Death of parent, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Cursing and Car accident
