Bc this is an adult world that rarely forgets to remind our few teens how young they are, and that is the opposite of what YA is.

And honestly, even the 3 teens in the cast of 9 MCs and the occasional YA-ish plot clarifications can’t stop me from saying this should just be Adult. I’ve always found Aveyard’s tendency toward detailed exploration of intricate politics, plot movements, and character motivations to be misplaced in YA, weighing down what her audience would expect to be a more breezy, fun read. “Is it monstrous to want what is owed you?”īefore I say anything about what this book is or how I wanted to pull its fabric apart and drown in its strings of layered characters and delicious world, I just have to say: Why is this series Young Adult?
