So this book was overshadowed by my previous qualms for The Testing - textbook dystopian, uninteresting//wandering plot points, and shallow characters. Cia is too perfect - she's smart, she does everything right, and each twist of the plot just goes to prove this point. There is a complete lack of character growth for Cia. 
 This review is basically me just touching briefly on some of the noticeable points that I disliked. I struggled to finish this book and have a feeling I will struggle with the final book. I caught myself skimming over parts, glossing over areas that I thought were unimportant to the general plot. In addition, the love story was just so unnecessary, it felt forced and completely unrealistic. 
 I'll give this series some credit - it's somewhat entertaining, but this book was slow and the plot wandered too much for me to even follow it properly. Overall rating 1.5.
