Really good. Even when it was over I'm still thinking about it. I can't wait to get Hunger and Lies. If you like fun fast paced YA you may like this book!

Re-reading this series because it was like CRACK to me over ten years ago. I know there’s every reason not to waste time reading YA fiction, especially super long six book series - and now there’s three more which I didn’t know about too - but this is really helping me get reading back into my routine. It’s so enjoyable, the characters are great, and the plot is lovely and fast-paced. Characters keep being introduced that then sets of my memory and I remember how they die, so getting spoilers from myself, but some of it is cool to see the foreshadowing. Trying to keep level-headed though and not get too obsessed. Think I’m failing that already though.

i bought this book a million years ago and felt obligated to read it as ive stared blankly at it for all those years

number 1 ill say: a lot of violent, gory kid deaths for a YA book!

number 2: interesting premise, wish it wasnt a super long series cause girl i am not reading 5 more books out of sheer curiousity.

There's only so many r-slurs I can read through. Please be aware that the r-slur is used liberally to the 4 year old autistic kid when going in to read this book.
