I loved this series when I was younger; it was such a great time to revisit it many years later especially in light of the movie coming out. I'm hoping to finish the series since I never got beyond the first one when I first read it. The dialogue and text does read very young YA but I think it fits for this book since we are primarily from the pov of our 16-year-old protagonist. I think about the hoverboards and spagbol way more than I'd like to admit. Definitely takes me back to the time when teenage dystopian books were at their peak! 

(3.5/5 rounded up to 4)
