I had read this book before but could hardly remember it, I have no idea why, this book was captivating, with fast paced writing (which at times felt a little childish, not enough to take away from the plot, instead it feels as if you are really reading a novel from the perspective of a 15 year old rather than one by an adult trapped in a child's body) a unique take on a common dystopian landscape, and interesting characters. The tropes used are common in YA but Lu's take on them gives the novel an edge above others such as Divergent.
