I was intrigued by the idea of the story and how it would play out, and often found myself not knowing what outcome to root for throughout, which I deem as a positive. However, the book does hold a strong resemblance to other YA dystopian novels I’ve read (Hunger Games, Divergent) and I’m never a fan of first-person in books. 

There were parts I didn’t understand nor like, such as the plan that gets developed near the end. Considering that the characters have known each other for only about a month, they were really quick to rely on an assumption and was already pretty weak in itself.  

Nonetheless, I’m not one to abandon a book series and will be reading until the end. I’m not jumping at the need to move forward, but I am excited to see where the story goes.
