Plot is very influenced by YA dystopians popular in early 2010s/ late 2000s. The main character is very temperamental and headstrong.

Decent and entertaining mashup of The Selection and Hunger Games. Does it all make sense? No. Do I care? Not really.

Definitely Hunger Games meets The Selection with a strong dose of Red Queen! I really enjoyed this book but the main character was maybe too impulsive. But I guess that was the point. I flew through this read and I'm curious to see what happens next.

Such a great concept, but I was incredibly frustrated with the main character.
