I didn’t realize this book was part of a series, but I’m glad it is, I’m interested in reading the other books, but it’s also able to just be a standalone thing. I don’t read much post-apocalyptic books, so this was interesting, and it reminded me of my favorite book of all time, The Giver. Definitely a recommend though, it goes very quick and very insightful.
