Better Than Expected

I was curious about this book because a review mentioned if you liked the divergent series you’d like this - and they were right! the story was good. Quick easy read and great to follow!

I am excited to read the rest and piece the story together.

Only reason why I put 4 stars for overall and performance was because it took a second to get to the readers voice. After a couple of chapters it got better and I truly enjoyed it!
