I loved this book, the chemistry between Kai and Pae ahhh!! and I love dual pov it can be so rare at the moment to find.
As much as I enjoyed this book I didnt connect with the characters and the story as much as I would have liked. When sad things happened I wasn't crazy invested and it was a lil predictable. Its very hunger games but a lessened version the author a lot of the time feels the need to spell out the characters trauma to you and it becomes a recurring theme that I kind of got bored of hearing (I don't know if this is due to the nature of YA)
Will definitely be reading the next book when it comes out and im glad I read this book!!
