The circle, like a new one

It has tear.. but inside of this book is like a new one.

A lot of unimportant information

the book was a good start and the concept is great, but the book just drags on over 400 pages of unimportant things and gets so drawn into the tiniest of details

This book Is my favorite by far

I found this book to he brilliant captivating from the beginning, I found the main character to be very intriguing In a story that has a "frog in a pot of water" feel to it, It draws you in close Before delivering a brilliant Ending that packs a hard punch, Some may say that the Main character is boring or lacks Personality but I would Strongly disagree. She isnt some bold protagonist that is activly fighting against a corrupt system like in so many other generic dystopian novels but Rather she is one among the masses, going along with the flow of things, While you the reader watch as the injustices in their society grow stronger with every page. I belive most would prefer a classic heroine but thats not how the real world works and seeing a character that is focused on bettering their immediate situations rather than dropping everything and risking it all to save the world Is refreshing and frustrating beacause From outside perspective you can recognize how their world could have been better if they took the time to put in the work. They are not a cookie cutter hero and they act like most people would and I find that beautiful beacause its a reminder that you can do better.
