I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway. All views are my own.

I have read quite a lot of dystopian fiction at this point which may be why I didn't find this book overly exciting, a lot of the main plot points are relatively generic for the genre. However, overall it was still an enjoyable read. The beginning section irritated me a little with the language used by Boy 23 combined with the aspect of his unknown origin, but once I got a little further in I got used to it and liked that we were then given more world building to situate the story within.

I actually quite liked ending and Boy 23's full origin story, it all linked up quite well. Nothing to blow my mind, but an enjoyable read over this weekend.
