A standalone dystopian!!



I know, it's crazy!! The really insane thing is that she totally could have stretched this out into a trilogy. Hell, she could have made it into a trilogy with 2 novellas, not because it was necessary but just to squeeze more money from us (cough) (cough). But she didn't and I totally appreciate that.

This isn't your typical dystopian. What sets it apart is mostly the end so don't click unless you want to be spoiled a bit... (view spoiler)[Unlike nearly all dystopians, she doesn't become the leader of the rebellion. She doesn't overthrow the evil government. The world is still fucked up at the end of this book. That's sad, but also kind of realistic. (hide spoiler)]

This book will make you angry and disgusted in the way a good dystopian should. The world is bleak and horrible things happen, especially to women. There were numerous times that I wanted to crawl into this world and murder everyone.

Women are treated like property in this world and it's just awful. It's the kind of book that should make you mad. This is definitely not a light and fluffy book.
