Also, I’m bored of 16 year old protagonists. When I was 15 they were so awesome, but now I’m a decade older and they’re a little weird. Why are YA dystopian authors obsessed with 16 year old children.

If I had read this ten years ago, closer to when it was published, I would have liked it more. Incredibly well written prose, but massive depictions of violence no longer engage me as a reader. I probably won’t be reading the other books in the series.
