This is a relatively quick read. I finished in a few hours. It was somewhat enjoyable, definitely meant for a younger audience, which I was unaware of when I started reading. It was like an elementary/middle school dystopian-ish novel but it had magic too? I'm not sure which category to sort it into. 
 The novel was incredibly predictable, I guessed the ending after reading the first quarter of the book or so. Sometimes, plot points didn't make much sense. There was too much rushing from action to action and for some reason I wasn't following and had to go back and reread to clear things up. This really is a great premise for a book, I liked the idea and the general plot, but I feel like I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it were written in a more mature voice. The plot would have made more sense if the characters were older teens rather than children and I would have found it more immersive.
