And that wasn't a bad thing, trust me. This book was incredibly unique and very interesting, and it kept me turning pages as quickly as I could.

I'm not usually a fan of books/movies set in the future, but this book was recommended to me and I loved it! It was fast-paced and full of action, but still easy to follow. I loved the characters! I was excited to pick it up the next day and it was hard to put down. Can't wait for more!
