Was surprised with the ending though
Was surprised when The Giver revealed the failed Receiver was his daughter but very good
Was surprised when revealed Release was death, thought maybe people get released into cruel world but this is better
Ending surprising is cliffhanger not fully clear what happens if book was standalone
Not a bad surprise though

I cannot remember the last time a book has made me feel so enraged — not at the writing, but alongside the protagonist.
This book may be “appropriate” for its YA demographic, but pulls no punches with its darker themes, truly shining through an adult lens.
