Good concept (if a bit tried), mid execution. It feels like you get too much too fast. Personally, it felt like the events of the whole book occurred within the span of a week, instead of however long it actually took. Mare joins the revolution and "kills" it all in one week. It's good trashy, 2010s YA dystopia though, I guess. I can see why it got popular
