I really, really, really loathed this book. It just felt really lagging, and it took me the whole day to read. while reading this book, I felt myself constantly being distracted and forced myself to finish it. This book was dry, a bit racist and ableist. I regret reading this book so much.

This is one of my favorite books. Really great world building.
I knew I’ve read this by the first line of this book. Somehow it was not left marked as read or rated and though I mostly remember the story, I don’t remember how good I thought it was so I think I’ll leave it at 3 stars.

Popsugar 29/50: a book set in space. 3.5 stars. I have to say...it took me the first 4-5 chapters to get into this book. There are so many made up terms for planets and groups of people and languages, etc. it was hard to keep up with at the beginning. Also, for a book set in space, I expected space to play a bigger part in it. Other than a mention of planets, galaxies, and getting on a ship, there is nothing about this plot that would be different if it were a dystopian set on earth. After my initial disappointment, I started to really enjoy the story and the characters. I will read the next one.

Not much of a fan. It was challenging to get through the end of the book.

this was gonna be a 3.5 stars but the ending was just so bad. They crammed as many plot twists to get a sequel out of it as Veronica Roth could. it didn’t rly add anything to the YA genre, and had a semi-predictable plot. But it was a nice, easy read, and I don’t think the author ever wrote “mc released a breath they didn’t realize they were holding” so there’s that. I like the world and the concept. Akos’ POV was so boring tho.
