I rarely read books that are over 300 pages, but this book drew me in at the first sentence and kept me interested down to the last sentence of the last page! I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, and the writing style is pretty good too.

I would recommend this to those of you who like sci-fis that aren't heavy handed with technical jargon and dystopians that aren't horrendously dark/graphic.

5.0

An absolute dystopian masterpiece! 

This book feels like if you had an alternative universe where Katniss was from District 13 and the world above was unlivable. The district system instead was vertical inside a silo that housed humanity. And you have no idea what is outside. It literally felt like a mash up of Hunger Games, Divergent and the movie Kingsman. 

This book had me hooked from page one with needing to find out the mystery within and the world outside of the silo
