adventurous dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.5

Everything I've come to expect from Haddix: super engaging premise that's worked out in an exciting way, okay characters that aren't super memorable but get the job done, twists and turns that keep you interested, and an intriguing ending that leaves you wanting the next book.

I Picked this up on a whim. Didn't expect to love it as much as I did. It was definitely darker than I expected, which was welcomed. I listened to the audio on Libby and was sad to see the next books in the series weren't available.

I read this in school but am returning to finish the series because, why not? The book is really heavy-handed in places since it’s "baby’s first totalitarianism."

This was a good throw back. It is like weird because it feels like it’s set before technology but it’s not. Also it’s a little dark for a children’s book which is surprising. It’s an interesting topic and dystopian setting. There was some sexist elements which was a bummer.
