first and foremost SO incredibly and indiscreetly similar to hunger games in sooo many ways, but i dooo enjoy a good uprising/ over throwing the government story. :P
i think this book had really phenomenal world building that i haven’t seen in a long time it was very throughly and done well, the plot itself felt a bit scattered at times like he knew the main objective and that was interesting but it was really hard to stay into it when it got a bit repetitive towards the end, speaking of i love all of the deception and i cannot wait to see how it trickles out into the next books i am hoping that the next one won’t be as similar to anything else i’ve read and i can enjoy it from an unbiased perspective :)))
