I've read this book multiple times and it's an all time favourite. For younger audiences I think it's a really great book. It is very cliché and a bit cheesy but it fits into the story and I still enjoyed it a lot. The story is original I think and even though it does not have a heavy plot it is entertaining to read.
It is easy to get through and pretty relaxing to sink into the world. The world building is pretty good and I like how the castes are portrayed and explained. It all makes sense and doesn't have logic holes, as many other books in the younger adult section.
I really like the characters and I feel with them and the connection between one another. America is a well portrayed character and her development is reasonable and makes me root for her to become who she wants to be.
All in all a pretty good book. If you're younger you will love this. And even if you're a bit older it's still very nice to read and to relax!
