5.0

It’s Stuart Little meets Divergent meets Hunger Games. I was holding my breath most of the book having no idea what was going to happen next. The world building was effective, the attention to detail, background, and side characters help build it all out. I almost took off 0.25 stars because I just want to know MORE but that’s the sign of a great book. I’ll be frozen and pondering until the next one comes out. Don’t read any spoilers or even the description, just buckle up and enjoy the ride.
