Segue bem com a vibe de distopia de 2010, mas é muito bom, amei os personagens e a trama e eu quero muito saber o que vai acontecer com eles

Great read! I found a couple of select scenes were too gory for me but overall it was an enjoyable and intriguing story and likeable characters.

This book was very fun to read. But it was sad. The characters were very well explained in this book. Lots of action in it. So if you want a very good book to read read this one.

I loved everything about this book from the pacing to the characters to the plot. The only nitpicks I have are about gaps in world building and that emotional beats aren’t given the space to have lasting impact but I think that’s just the fast paced narrative. I can’t wait to read the next book(s).

I wanted to discover Marie Lu for a while now and finally got this audiobook from the local library.

Loved the story ark, loved the characters and the turns and twists the story takes. In short, it is YA and I loved it for it.

Okay so initially I had this at 4⭐️ but to be fair it was three years ago and people change. Now first off why were Day and June fifteen? I mean sure, it can be a commentary of how corrupt governments force children to mature early, but at the same time I don’t think

having June be “pursued” I guess by men in their 20s was necessary. They weren’t really normalized, but they weren’t condemned either.

Anyway, I must say that the first person POV really threw me off at the beginning for some reason. Also the constant info dumping about the world building didn’t help matters. But you know as the plot moved forward, you noticed it less and less. Overall, I guess I liked this but it wasn’t like the best of the best. We shall see what the rest of this series has in store.
