3.0

I liked the characters decently and loved the idea for the plot, but the writing is pretty bad. For example, I understand that June and Day are supposed to be smart, but it gets to a point where it's annoying how  quickly they solve things. There are also some parts where it's super analytical and boring (not a direct quote, just an example of a similar scene: "We were moving at x feet per second. We needed to travel x feet. But the 23 soldiers were moving faster than us, and they'd catch up to us at x feet.")

I loved the futuristic USA and the end plotwist had me hooked.

When it's revealed that they preformed experiments on the kids from lower classes that passed their Trial with amazing grades, it was very well foreshadowed.

And the split view point really kept the pace going. Overall a great read.
