This was such an easy read to get into. As a previous YA author I think Victoria Aveyard wrote this book that felt like the easy pick up and read of a YA but had the plot and character struggles you more often see in NA or adult works.
The characters were captivating from the start and kept my attention throughout the whole book. There wasn't one person's chapter that I was interested in reading as they were all compelling in their own way. I think this book's strongest area as each character felt unique from one another and even if they are feeling the same emotions and turmoil they express them in different ways.
I thought the plot of the book was good but it wasn't a driving force for me when it came to reading. It is a simple set up but in a way that allows the characters to shine without having a convoluted plot hanging over them. It was an interesting and I am intrigued to see where it goes in the next two books.
All in all if you have previously liked Victoria Aveyard's works this is a must read.
