Loved

This is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I loved all of the characters as they came together from their very different points of view, from people who have been totally indoctrinated to people who are joining from the outskirts and have no concept of what like,politics within the big city look like.

Liked

I will say the villains o f this book weren't the most realistic. Like, to be fair that's probably not necessarily what you're going for when you go into this book,but there is a certain level of... how evil can we make these guys so that you don't feel bad for how much we kill them?

Liked

Other than this book being very sweet, and a super comforting and nicemiddle-grade book, I don't know that I have more to say for it than that. I'm glad I read this because I love Renée Watson, because I want to read all of her work but I have enjoyed her YA work a lot more.
