I literally teared up several times (which is not an easy feat), and I outright cried once (which is really hard unless an animal is involved). → If Dread Nation is the awesome movie, then Deathless Divide is the gritty Netflix follow-up series. But thank goodness, because I never would've come up with this. The book literally had nothing in common with my idea other than it being awesome. Still, I had a vague idea of what I thought might happen. I tried not to picture anything with Deathless Divide. → This was not the book I expected it to be I enjoyed it nevertheless.

How do I review a book that wrecked my heart so thoroughly without blubbering or spoiling everything or just keyboard smashing?
