This has the same tone as Mockingjay so far. Huge losses and a reignition of hope after visiting a hospital of wounded supporters.

"They go with the wind, chasing power. But they don't realize power doesn't shift. Power is resolute. It is the mountain, not the wind. To shift so easily is to lose trust. And trust is what has kept me alive."

Darrow reminds me of Katniss but specifically when she decides to kill Snow lol

It's good so far. I was getting slightly bored because it took so long to be introduced to the love interest, but I think it will pick up now. I'm not a massive fan of romance either so I'm struggling a bit. I know it's fantasy as well, but it feels more like a romance with *some* fantasy versus a fantasy with *some* romance.

"The depravity of man's heart knows no floor, and everyone in this hard country has a sordid chapter in the story of their life, that they're trying either to atone for, or stay ahead of. It's what binds us to one another."

Yeah, I think I'm going to like this one.

I'm kind of rushing reading this because I want to finally be done, even though it is well written and thought provoking. I fear this story could have ended much sooner
