The Hunger Games hospital edition

If you liked 'The Naturals' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes this book is like a new adult version of those books :)

I wasn't the biggest fan 3rd pov which drops my rating down slightly. I don't hate it but I think it removes you from the story a bit more and blocks you from getting a deeper understanding of the characters. 

Glee but instead of singing the characters express their feelings by quoting Shakespeare.

I know only the basics about Shakespeare but I still enjoyed it despite not really understanding some of the quotes and scenes. If you are worried about not being able to wrap your brain around Shakespeare quotes (as I was), I wouldn't worry too much as I think the author does a good job at choosing quotes that are easy to read and you can understand the vibe of what they are trying to get across in the quote. They also aren't every sentence and I enjoyed the actual writing so you could skip over some of the quotes if you want without missing crucial elements of the story :)

I don't think I have ever related to a character more than murderbot <3

Zetian reminded me so much of Johanna from The Hunger Games!
The plot of the book lost me a little towards the end but I think it was interesting to see Zetian's slow descent into, not madness as such, but just letting her hatred of the world and its oppressive systems overwhelm her. I think the author did a great job of bringing us into Zetian's mind and allowing us to experience her spiral and feel her hatred of the world.
I would have liked a little more world-building to explain some more of the history leading up to the point we are at as I am a sucker for lore and history but, knowing the twist at the end, it makes a little more sense that we don't know as much.

If I owned this book, I would rip it up into small pieces and throw it off a cliff along with Grace
