About 40% in. This is painful to read. Unoriginal. Full of clichés and tropes. A mixture of a half dozen other YA books (Hunger Games, Defy the Night, The Selection, etc..) Was it even edited?

My daughter and her friends are reading it so I plan to finish it. I do see the draw for young readers, especially since it is low spice. Hopefully, Roberts writing will mature.
