2022 - I am changing my rating to 3 stars. My library had only books 1 and 2 available to me when I first tried to read this series. As such books 3 & 4 sat on my want-to-read shelf. Until now. I wanted to read the series so I could finally knock those off. But my library no only has book 1 on audio and I don't want to take my evening reading time up with this series after having re-read book 1. It is interesting, has some fun concepts, and I am looking forward to the TV show being made. But the writing style, main characters, romance, and world-building all feel lacking enough to me that I am just not driven to read more. Especially when it is a choice of paying $10 per book for the audio or taking up my evening reading time that I spend on physical books. Books 3 & 4 are coming off my "to read" shelf, but only because I'm removing them, not because I'm reading further.

2014 - I gave this read 4 stars. I just liked dystopian
