This book was SO GOOD. It gave everting it needed to give. We’ve got all the emotions, all the drama, the politics, all the danger and the will to survive, so basically everything you need in a good dystopian novel. It was even better than the first one and the novella. So excited to keep reading books in this world with these characters.

3.5

the build-up and first half of the book were really slow and boring, but it shifted fast. even though it kept me on edge at times, the beginning is the reason i think this book is a downgrade from shatter me. BUT HAVE U SEEN AARON WARNER!!!!!! THE MAN OF EVERYONE'S DREAMS
