Waffling on my rating for this one. On the one hand, it's a fun and exciting read - the start of a dystopian series that seems to draw inspiration from Handmaids Tale and the Hunger Games. The characters are all fun, and it's action packed. However, the world is a little confusing the second you try to think about it beyond the surface level. The plot is pretty predictable, and it all just feels very familiar. I didn't feel like anything was being explored in a new or groundbreaking way. The FMC Emeline is dumb as hell, but she gets a pass for being a product of the oppressive system, I guess. Overall I'd recommend if a dystopian romance is something that is up your alley, otherwise - pass
