(3.5 Stars) This is a re-read for me, my dad read it to me and my sibling many years ago. The plot of it stuck with me all of these years and I decided to give it another go. The characters are kind of cookie-cutter, but it's middle-grade and you do have a cool dystopian plot that overrides that sort of. The plot makes sense too, which is always a plus with middle-grade. I hate unrealistic plots so much, I'm far too logical for my good. My dad never read the rest of the books after this one I'll be in a new territory. I hope that it doesn't begin to bore me. I would get it if it does though.

Reminds me of a vampire book I read back in middle school with the ending. I've never been able to find that series though and I've looked pretty hard.

How would it feel to know that eventually the lights of your world would go out and you would never see again?
