It took me 3 attempts to start this book over a period of time and I just couldn’t get into it. This time, I did become interested until the competition started in earnest and I quickly became quite bored and remained that way until the end. For me, it wasn’t about how it was written or implausible plot lines; it was just not what the ‘reading me’ had much interest in. Very Lord of the Flies-esque.

3.5?? 4?? Maybe?? I can't decide on this one.

This was a very imaginative world. I could definitely see other books taking aspects from this and shaping them into other things. I loved the color caste system, it was thoroughly thought out and I want to see it dismantled lol. Also, the fact that this whole book takes place on Mars kind of blows my mind?? I honestly kept forgetting but then they'd mention the lower gravity and I was like oh yeah they're not on Earth.

Darrow was an interesting kid. F

Probably closer to a 4.5 but the second half of the book was so incredible I can't bring myself to give this only a 4. The first half dragged a bit and bordered on the nonsensical, even for a fantasy book, but the second half blew me away. It became so intense, so raw, and oh so thrilling. I absolutely devoured the rest of the book.

I've got so many other books I need to finish but I need to read the second book in this series asap so library due dates be bloodydamned!

This book is so good! Nuanced characters who fail and succeed.
