At first I really enjoyed it but the tropes started to wear themselves thin about 2/3 of the way through the book.

It's fine as a page turner, I found the supernatural elements to be distracting and many of the characters a tad annoying.

Very enjoyable dystopian fiction with interesting characters. The good vs evil characters were well fleshed out and there really wasn’t any gray area. You either lived the characters or hated them. The supernatural/magical element was enjoyable too. Loved this book.
