I liked this book. It is different from other YA, hence the 4*. It is dark, especially the beginning, but it is good worldbuilding. But, if this was not a buddyread with my mom, I don't think I would have finised it, I put it down probably around 40%. I kept reading because I was travelling, but I'm very glad I finished it because I love the evolvement in the storyline and omg that ending! Great!
