Third read and still one of my all time favorite books. The world building is incredible and smoothly integrated, as are the flashbacks/background for all the characters. I absolutely love the diversity in this book, the strongly built characters, and how fantastically well written they are. Even as a reread, the plot is thrilling and the twists and turns are still exciting. The found family aspect of a ragtag group of teens who couldn't be any more different from each other is so heartwarming. I could sing this book's praises for ages. There are many darker themes, so check your trigger warnings, but it is absolutely worth it in my opinion.
