I think I can confidently say that Dystopian is just isn't for me. I wanted to finish reading this series because I wanted to know what happened.
I had a major revelation while reading this book. I no longer enjoy reading morally grey MCs. I've changed a lot since a few years ago. Not as much as I did before. I'm a little disappointed because I genuinely do think that morally grey characters are important and bring critical complexity that non-morally grey characters just lack. However, I've found that for present me, reading from the POVs of morally grey characters just exhaust and bore me. I really hope I'm mistaken but change happens.
I think the pacing also demotivated me. The ending was not bad at all though.
