This was a little slow, but very on-brand pacing for a YA dystopian book published at this time. If you like the Hidden series, the bar code tattoo, or the declaration, this is similar. I was begging for an adjective by the end as the sterile writing style isn't my favorite. Overall it was an interesting concept. It starts to question some white supremacist ideologies especially around physical ability/disability, women's rights, etc, however could lean into those questions a little more (though the later books do explore how this affects society). The reference to "work will set you free" at the beginning was pretty jarring.
