i don't know how authors do it. they create these incredibly detailed worlds! and these characters, how can they create characters that make me love them so much! 
 i'm so jealous of the world Marie Lu has created bc its what i hope the future holds--she makes me feel. . . i mean what's the opposite of nostalgic bc i want this future. i crave it so much. this book was emotional! 
 read it read it read it!!
