Would I recommend this book for...
Teenagers?No
Adults?Yes

Comments: This is a New Adult series. It had a bit of yuck in it. However I really liked this first book, the stakes were super high and I liked the dystopian world, though I worry that it is so much like other books in it's genre that it doesn't stand out enough. Still I enjoyed the main characters.
