This series could really have been a single stand alone book. The author really didn’t need to add the other two books. Im not exactly complaining here. I did give the book three stars for a reason. The author is a good writer. Everything is very nicely written and structured. The plot has a good flow and is very loopy (suspenseful and exciting). The only reason I didn’t really like this book is that the author kind of lost me. I have been reading dystopian trilogies for a long time. This is not one of the best and I think I was just getting tired of that sort of flow. I wanted something new. So the only reason this book does not have more stars is because I wasn’t pulled in.
