Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans
4.0
3.5 really. For much of the book, we really didn't make any progress. We learned about the world but not so much how it works. We learned bits and pieces about Felicia's past and why she loved/hated Julian but not enough to bring us along for the ride.
The build up was slower than many recent dystopias, since the author attempts to bring in more thought provoking questions instead of relentless action. Unfortunately, the the resolution was fast and left many questions unanswered due to it's easy solution.
