Whilst not a bad book, by any means, I felt as though the plot for this felt a little outdated and recycled from other powerhouses in the dystopian genre. It was interesting to read of a slower-paced, and less action-based, dystopian and yet, for me, this ended up being this book's undoing. I felt like the whole book was waiting to get going. There was no grand climax or sub-plots and the aspects that initially held my interest ended up being overshadowed by the predictable emergence of a love triangle (yawn!). 
 This had an intriguing plot but lacked a little uniqueness, for me. I am interested in continuing on with the series but my expectations and exciement have, unfortunately, waned a little.
