The first two books were very competent storytelling and pretty decent writing. I agree that nothing about it was brilliant, but it was a compelling page turner which told an interesting story in under 400 pages, in a world where it felt like genius was being measured in page count. I don’t even really think the first one was particularly YA. It had Anthem vibes without all of the weird baggage.
