5.0

Scifi and dystopia isn't really my thing and I didn't think I was that into this series... Until I couldn't stop listening. 

It kept me engaged and guessing the whole time - just when I thought I knew where it was going, it would go in a completely different direction (but in a completely plausible way). 
I'm fairly certain that a large part of my enjoyment was due to how well the audiobook was narrated. Would definitely recommend.
