This book brought back the preteen version of myself and their obsession with dystopian stories like the maze runner trilogy. such a competent book exploring a genuinely horrifying manifestation of Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon thought experiment and how psychologically devastating internment is for children just beginning to develop. so many twists and turns and tension- loved it and i will be continuing the trilogy which is big for me!
