I really enjoyed this one and would totally recommend it to fans of the dystopian genre, but it would probably not be enjoyable to someone new to it. Sevro was totally iconic and I would read a whole book where he was the only character. I also loved how flawed Darrow was. He felt realistic for better or for worse. One fault though was the names, I understand that they are Latin based, but many of the names were very similar and that made it a little difficult to know the difference between some of the side characters. But the plot flowed spectacularly and I loved all the characters.
