I totally blanked on this. Going to start it now! So sorry. Got sick and got behind on so much on reading and for work.

Don't worry about it, Lindsey! I'm super behind on all my other reads.

the end - I'm sorry I didn't update more, Lindsey! I just hated this book with a passion that I wasn't ewxpecting and it was such a drag that I had to force myself to read every single word. Thank God it is over.

(view spoiler)[Greta's now a robot. Wow. I don't think it even really makes sense.... How do 'robot' someone? The process wasn't even explained. And I don't know how they're going to write a sequel. (hide spoiler)]

No worries. I'm having trouble getting into it.

End of 6 (view spoiler)[ yikes. This just drags on and on and on.

But they are keeping water from them. That's just cruel And mean in so many ways. Yikes.

End of 7 (view spoiler)[ nice , a food fight. Just what they need. They could have gotten in trouble and the food that was wasted. (hide spoiler)]

End of 10 (view spoiler)[ I think one of the things I like best is the fact that hostages stand up for each other. (hide spoiler)]

End of 16 (view spoiler)[ So far into the book and I'm confused and having to reread so many parts. Why is this so hard to read. Can't connect with characters or the setting. (hide spoiler)]

Done (view spoiler)[ thank goodness. I'm done. That was one hard read. Happy to be done. I was expecting more but ended up getting something confusing and boring and just not there for me.

Lacking so much. And so many open answers. Why??? Will not be finishing this series. (hide spoiler)]
