It seems like dystopia might be making a comeback in the YA realm, which is great! This has a pretty heavy romance aspect, which was a little insta-lovey. Not always my favorite trope. But the world that Tew created was fascinating and felt scarily realistic, which in my opinion is what makes a great dystopian book.
The writing was paced well, pulling you along in the action while revealing what this government is actually doing. If you're a fan of YA dystopia, definitely pick this one up!
