Honestly this was NOT what I had expected when going into it. But that’s such a good thing! This was everyone’s perfect nostalgic YA post-apocalyptic dystopia with a little romance, fighting action, political turmoil, and divided factions. It read a little bit young for me but that’s not a rating reducer considering I’m no longer the age this probably appeals to, I think this book is absolutely fantastic as an introduction into this genre. The author still keeps it fresh and unique but plays to the readers emotions at the same time. I can definitely say this will be a favorite for a lot of people and that I SERIOUSLY recommend it. Plus the “video game” vibes are so fun and add a little bit of edge to the story for sure.

Thank you to the author and tbrandbeyond tours!
