2023 - I just... I thought this book was good but not great when I first read it 10 years ago. My god. Looking back at it, it is so interesting and wonderful. I get why I didn't like parts of it then. But with an older and post-BLM perspective... it is very good, thoughtful, fast-paced, and the characters are beautiful. 

How the story deals with themes of PTSD, love, trauma, and revolution is amazing. I think it is everything the Dystopian YA trend of the time wanted to be. This series nails what it is doing and is so fun while doing it. God, I miss the endless reading I could do in 2010. It was so fun to revisit this series! 

2010 - Gave 4 stars with no review
