Not necessarily in content, but the vibes of this book definitely reminded me of The Hunger Games. There's a revolution, different classes are pitted against each other, there's a girl who is a symbol of the revolution (and also happens to be a bird). The world was different though, and we get more points of view in this book. Honestly, I was invested in this from the beginning. Ali does a good job of hooking you with action right from the start, and then pulling you in with the world building and the characters.

I haven't read S.K. Ali's other books, but this book is a change of genres for her. And I think she definitely pulls it off! There were some details that could have been clarified a bit, but there is room to do that in the next book. If you like dystopia/sci-fi/revolution type books, definitely pick this one up!
