The book was very disturbing, and I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone because it got graphic in a few of the chapters. It was quite sad honestly but sometimes the children were insufferable with how they constantly bickered.

I liked this so much more than I thought I would! Once the time started picking up in the book, I was truly captivated and wanted to know how it ended! I'm excited to read the rest of the series !
