I really enjoyed this book- mainly because I love dystopian fiction and I found the premise interesting about how a portion of society could have their words limited to 100 a day.
It could easily be in our future with the way the politics in the states is going which made this book eerie.
I felt the use of language was simple at times and it could have used more interesting vocabulary or been written with more eloquent descriptors but it wasn’t badly written.
It seemed to wrap up rather quickly at the end despite being a slow burn to begin with and I was tired of the affair as these things always get thrown in as if to make the plot more interesting when it really didn’t add anything.
The characters could have done with some more development as they were a bit flat but I think what saves it, it is the premise and the fact that it isn’t that hard to imagine this happening.
