I've heard such good things about this book, Córdova came to talk to our book club and she was really great, and it makes me really sad to write this review about how underwhelmed I was overall. For one thing, I read this book three months ago and I can barely remember any of it. It's kind of imprinted in my mind as one big "rebel going undercover" trope. There was also all this hype around the incredibly shocking twist ending and the ending was not surprising at all, in my opinion. This book was part of a streak of YA fantasy I read last year that didn't make an impression on me, so maybe this is on me and not the book itself. But regardless, I'm not interested in reading the sequel.
