I'll start with the good: it was an action packed dystopian just like I was promised. The leads weren't the average trope for the genre. And Leigh Dragoon is an epic name. After that, this fell flat on its face.

Now some of this might be because I read the graphic novel and this was originally a book to complex to adapt properly, but I have to review this on what I read. The plot was underdeveloped, and the novel was under the impression that I already knew what was going on and gave me no hints as to what the world was like and the characters. The character development was lacking. The world wasn't explained either. At first I thought it was in placed warped and different from ours like in The Hunger Game, but suddenly the States were still existing. Everything was just lacking and I came out of this almost the same as when I went in. I feel like it was expecting me to read the book first and just know what was going on. ( )

IN a future where war is ever present and the poor are oppressed one boy grows to be a hero to people but the powers that be want him dead.

Interesting but now I want to read the book. ( )
