This is the second Veronica Roth novella that I have picked up and LOVED. This was a random choice from my library, I was looking for something short to help complete my book goals for the year. I'm so glad I grabbed this!
This is a dystopian retelling of Antigone following our cast of characters navigate the story. I have read the original play and new the plot points that would appear, but still found myself eager to see what would happen in this sci fi setting. Something I really enjoy about her novella length books, is how much characterization and detail she is able to get in with so few words. Everything is intentional and I really love that acknowledge how hard that it.
The chapters are told in multiple POV's and I loved the tone of every chapter. It felt connected and fluid transitionally, even when swapping between them. I started this during my lunch break and came home to finish it right away, it was short and satisfying while being retrospective and reflective.
