[Erin]

I'll start reading once I get this book from the library!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

YAY!!! I was lucky and managed to catch it on a day it was free in the US (on Amazon).

I hope you love it!

[Ashlyn]

I loved this book!

[Katriann]

I really want to read this book. It's been on my tbr for quite a while. I hope I will have time to read it this month.

[Krista]

I loved this whole series! Gives me a good reason to reread :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! I hope you guys are able to read it!!

[Farren]

This book was really good and now I'm mad at myself for putting it off all this time! I rated it 4.5 stars instead of 5 just because the two main characters were a little flat compared to the other characters, and because there were similarities to at least 4 books I could think of and not enough original material.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! I'm so glad you loved this one Farren

I did too! And the series, if you keep going, is pretty good!

[Erin]

I just started reading this book yesterday and it's so good!! It kinda reminds me of the hunger games and the maze runner in a way

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes! It feels like it has really interesting elements of each, right?!

[Krista]

I agree, it does have similar elements. For some reason I enjoyed the Testing over those though. I think it was the writing.

[Kikijanika]

I've read about 50% now and I think it's really good. Like being back in the time when I read the hunger games and the divergent series. I hope the series will remain good 'til the end.

[Farren]

I thought the way the author used test questions and answers in her world building was clever. I hate not having enough background, or when it ends up being a whole lot of info dump. I definitely plan to finish up the series as soon as I can.

[Erin]

I just finished the book and it was amazing! The story was pretty similar to many others I've read before but it had enough uniqueness to it to keep it interesting

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

so glad you liked it too Erin! I agree - there were so many unique pieces to this one, even though it was similar to others in ways.

Do you plan to keep reading the series?

[Erin]

Yeah! I'm definitely going to continue the series!

[Kikijanika]

I just finished and loved this! Definitely going to read on!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! I'm so glad you loved it Kiki!

The second one is really good too :)
