"before i right a quick review just wanted to say i’m back reading books i was in a slump. ok i rate this book a 3.5 outta five stars. idk maybe a four. i rly love the whole idea and plot. but it was just a very boring read and took two months bc i couldn’t get through it😭. i also read it for a huge project so ig that doesn’t help much either. i’ve have been wanting to read it. i also just bought the other two books in the trilogy so i’m hoping it gets better. overall hard to rate."
"This book is sooo good!! 10/10!!! Its like a cross between The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands and the Hunger Games by Suzzanne Collins! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! There’s a little bit of swearing, but it’s not very often and they’re not like ‘the super bad’ ones XD. Nothing sexual. Lots of violence and gore tho. "
