i really liked this. i liked the characters. ive been waiting to read this for a while and deven and i were both interested in reading it. i felt like it was a bit slow at some points, but i also liked slowly understanding the world.

Good future fallout shelter dystopia, where you never know where the story is going. Had similar feeling like a Fallout game series shelter parts, only without the satire/comedy parts.

The ending was very "and then everyone clapped".
Also, I was crying laughing when this book had "these violent delights have violent ends" written as a quote at the beginning of a chapter. The only other piece of media I know that has used that quote? TWILIGHT LMAO
