Reviews
I want to read the rest of the books but like how this one ended. It didn't end in a cliff-hanger. It ended nicely.

I loved how this book kept me at the edge of my seat, with its plot twists and mysteries:I recommend to the ages of 12 and above

I thought it was out of the box thinking about the future in a way that seems frighteningly possible because death might be the only thing that we would have to control. A very good book for also exploring a utopia.
