I love dystopian books, so this one was right up my alley! It took me some time to get into since the first couple of chapters were really heavy on world-building, but once I got past that, the pacing flowed more smoothly. The concept wasn't unique, but I thought the author did a good job considering this was her first non-contemporary novel. My only issue was that there were too many POVs and I didn't fully connect with any of them. The characters' decisions didn't always make sense to me,
and Nada's death felt so random.
All in all, I look forward to seeing where the story goes in the sequel.
