The intro, flashbacks, characters, and trials were so good! There were a couple of twists I didn't see coming and I love that! It took a little while to get into the story, but I loved it and can't wait for the next. First 5 star of the year.

I have never been more surprised by a plot twist until this book
4/5 ⭐️
I honestly loved the vibe of this book. There is one scene during the first 150 pages that reminds me of Katniss Everdeen, ifykyk!
I loved the side characters the most honestly! Tipp and Mot were such unique characters that had me laughing the whole way through. Tipp is such a cute young boy who really did not deserve to be in such a terrible Prison and overall environment. He was such a sweetheart.
Kiva was definitely an interesting main character. I liked that she was a survivor at heart and was so kind to everyone she could be. She was given an impossible task and an even more impossible fate. She was so strong and resilient even if she doubted herself!
Honestly that plot twist at the very end had me reading the sentences over and over again just so i could understand what happened. I’m so confused but yet it makes so much sense when i look back but then also doesn’t make sense to the character arc that was started for this character. i loved the fact that it caught me so far by surprise though, i never would’ve guessed it AT ALL. I won’t go so into detail because i want you all to experience it the same way i did, but good lord it was great!!
Oh and Jarren, he’s getting added to the book boyfriend list ASAP!!

Actually loved the plot, nothing came as a chock and is disappointed me sooo much that she couldn’t survive a single test on her own… like you want me to think she’s strong? Like nope. She’s not. Everything was so obvious and there wasn’t really a great answer to anything. Do think I will read the next since she’s the rebels daughter? Idk what happened there at the finish line. But such a weird book

There were a lot of tropes in this that I think are overdone right now in the genre, but I do think this book worked within those tropes really well without being overly reliant on any of them. The plot twists at the end... I saw one of them coming but NOT THE OTHER WOWWWEEEE. So it has to get high marks because I the gasp I gusped was too loud for it to get any less.
