Gutter Child by Jael Richardson
3.5
dark sad tense

This could have been mind-blowingly amazing. I think it had the potential to be as big as The Hunger Games. The premise is superb and most of the story is painfully spot on. There were some things that didn't make sense, considering the society they lived in, so I'd have liked some explanation as to how these things were possible. The ending was terribly rushed and I wanted a more firm conclusion. I wish it was either longer or at least a duology.
