is this book perfect? absolutely not. did it still slap? SO HARD!

this book had me in such a chokehold i had to stop listening to it at night because i would only dream of it. 

such a good dystopian with fantastic quotes. some of my favs
this is a city and i do not like it. i feel alone. 

power isn’t real. it’s just a word

if i’m a good man, then why do i want to do bad things?

man cannot be freed but the same injustice that enslaved it

SO GOOD! i’ve not enjoyed a dystopian this much since the hunger games. this is not at all the same (proper gruesome, so many “OMG WHAT?!” moments) but gave me that same feeling. it did feel eerily familiar to our current world but ig that’s the point of dystopian
