It's been a while since I've read a dystopian book. I really enjoyed this, depite so many characters making me so angry while I was reading. I think the world building was a little weak, but romance wasn't the main focus so that kind of helps make up for it. It's clear to see that this book was just setting up for the next one, because the ending was a little strange. I don't mind cliffhangers, but I do mind when I'm expecting tere to be more, but it's just awkwardly the end of the book. It's mainly the ending that brings this down a star for me. I'm excited to see what Celestine does in the next book, and I'm not looking forward to the long wait I'll have to read it.
