![]() ![]() I love dystopians and it’s hard to find unique ones a lot of the time, but I haven’t read ANYTHING like this series so that made me very happy. I loved the setting again set in the town where I live so that was pretty neat. I am happy to say I enjoyed this ending, but not as much as book 1. I was so excited to jump into book 2, and I had very high expectations for it.
