I have no idea where to begin with this review. I'm left with a lot of unresolved emotions right now. I'm basically just going to outline some of the thoughts in my mind, and I'll untangle them all later. 
 1) There had better be a sequel. I heard a rumor that it was originally intended as a standalone. And that's just mean. There needs to be more to this story. 
 2) This is the perfect book for people wishing for more Hunger Games. Though it is intended for a YA audience, it has that same darkness to it that should be reserved for a more mature reader. The language is clean, and sex is only hinted at, but it is brutally violent (without being graphic). The violence is necessary to the plot, but be prepared for a body count. 
 3) Laia is one of the best characters ever. She's not physically strong (at all) and without the help of those around her she would've died ten times over. BUT... she has a fierce emotional strength. I would've given up on day one, in her shoes. 
 4) Holy romantic confusion! It's not just a love triangle, but more like a love square! And the whole time you won't have a clue who to root for, because everything feels right. But it's also all wrong. You'll get what I mean once you've read it. 
 5) You need to read it. Now.
