It wasn’t a bad book, I just didn’t connect with it that well. It was a very girl power authoritarian government religious fascism book. Yes the government was evil, it was just really really depressing. There was not really any hope at all, the main character dies, the relationship culminates in one night only because she dies. This book tries to by driven by both emotion/passion and logic, but the logic just annoyed me. All of the arguments felt extremely dumb and one sided. Sciona was frustrating and extremely flawed, but I guess that’s the point. I read this pretty quickly, it kept my attention, but I don’t feel the need to read it again.
