On par with the hunger games for iconic dystopias! The exploration of death and the human condition here was done really well, and the world building is well serving to its purpose. Was a tad predictable at times but really good book!

An absolutely brilliant book that comments on the philosophy and ethics of death in an undying world. I don’t think there’s anything I could change about this book to make it better and I’m very excited for the next.
