"Just finished reading this book and it was definitely interesting. It's set in a different community and has a different pov than that of The Giver but I could see a lot of similarities. I became more attached to the main characters in this book compared to the other one, but I did find the ending lacking. By the end of this series I'm hoping everything will be resolved, but I loved the writing and am looking forward to reading more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I enjoyed the story, but the ending is just as frustrating as The Giver. Maybe the endings will be resolved in a later book?"

"Took 20 chapters to get to the climax, turning point, plot twisty part. And then it felt rushed to get to the end. So it’s a no for me."

"You should! This book has a great plot and a very unexpected conclusion. Before you read this book, you have to read The Giver by Lois Lowry."
