Okay I absolutely loved this up until the last like 15% cause what was that ending?! Definitely was hoping for a bit more resolution or some indication that it was all worth it, but it feels like everything just went back to “normal” for everyone. 

I really enjoyed the aspects of navigating the wastelands and dealing with the mutations, and loved the forced proximity that brought our hunter and hunter together. It did feel a bit insta-lovey without much basis to their feelings, but I still enjoyed the sweet, sapphic romance.

Overall, I was left feeling a bit disappointed, but it could also be partially because I reread the hunger games not too long ago which is just peak dystopian in my mind! Would definitely still recommend giving this a read, as I enjoyed it a lot overall!
