Segue bem com a vibe de distopia de 2010, mas é muito bom, amei os personagens e a trama e eu quero muito saber o que vai acontecer com eles

Besides the relationship being a bit too insta-lovey for my taste this was a lot better than what I remember from my YA dystopia phase back in 2014. The world is pretty basic but Day is a charming protagonist and I did like how much they committed to the deaths in the book. Let’s see if I actually finish the trilogy this time

I found the story hard to get into until Day gets arrested. I liked it once it picked up, but not enough to continue the series.

I didn’t like that most of the book takes place with Day imprisoned. I just didn’t find it entertaining

3.0

I liked the characters decently and loved the idea for the plot, but the writing is pretty bad. For example, I understand that June and Day are supposed to be smart, but it gets to a point where it's annoying how  quickly they solve things. There are also some parts where it's super analytical and boring (not a direct quote, just an example of a similar scene: "We were moving at x feet per second. We needed to travel x feet. But the 23 soldiers were moving faster than us, and they'd catch up to us at x feet.")
