Us Dark Few by Alexis Patton
4.0

This was soo good! cool dystopian world building, I rlly liked the prison setting. The visuals were at times quite brutal and nasty but that fits the dystopian energy underground for sure. The story moved slowly at times but I think that is pretty realistic. 
I don't loveee the poetry but I don't mind it being there either. The writing is good, but I think the side characters fell a bit too flat. I like them but Khalani's friends didn't get much development.
Takeshi is so hot omg. And the tension between them!! I love me a good training segment and the things this man would say omg! so lowkey kinky istg. The romance was like 30% of the plot I'd say, it's a bit more slowburn for sure and very intriguing! I'm so excited to see where they will go in future books.
Khalani is a really strong main character with a terrible past and I think she'd be a rlly soft and sweet girl had she been allowed to grow up in a different world. 
This book also made me appreciate the beauty of our earth and nature more :) Truly I couldn't imagine it just being so destroyed that humans would have to go underground for hundreds of years.
