Coming into this book after Conform, I was a bit bummed to start a prequel instead of a sequel, but after the first 90 pages it has sucked me in. It still gives me tons of "Divergent" copy-cat vibes, but am enjoying it.

I expected more fantasy world but this has now become a war novel set in a dystopian future. The military jargon and the “brotherhood of soldiers”dominate the plot. I’m craving fae, magic, something fantastical while This book develops into too much of a realistic scenario after a nuclear armageddon. The guilt-tripping and inferiority complex of the FMC gets annoying. Enough already with the mental self-harming
