Edit: chaning the rating from 4.25 to 4.75 because i remember the plot like 3 years later
It’s a good dystopian. It took me a while to get used to the mc’s though, but the development of their character is worth every page. This book has a good picture of a controlling government and corruption, rebelión and morals. Well-written with unique writing style. It is a little dark, but somehow inspires hope in you. The book tells rather than shows, but this detail adds to it’s charm. honestly all the questions are so clever and intriguing. Also my head canon is that the MCs are soulmates and you can’t convince me otherwise.
