but BURKELY FREAKING DUFFIELD JUST FOLLOWED ME

I'm gonna need to jump into the snow to cool off because I'm about to explode

Ok Corbierre can be Voldemort. I like that

Debate. Ok, Lia, DEBATE.

How is it fair to weed out the weak at age 10? It doesn't give the kids a chance to grow enough and really figure out who's strong and who's weak. They should train them first, and then see who is strong and who is weak from that.

But June's viewpoint changes by the end of the book to become the same veiwpoint as Day's. And they really don't think all that differently. Sure, June picks up details and stuff, but Day is observant as well. And they are not relatable. They're super special, they're prodigies, super athletic and smart. Where are their weaknesses? Where are their flaws? Besides, they're only fifteen. Day, a fifteen year old boy, is the Republic's most wanted criminal only because he made the Republic look weak, but he really didn't do anything all that bad. He robbed a bank, sure, but it's not like he killed the Elector or something. And how could he break into a high security bank in a couple seconds? And how could he jump and climb up a building with a bad knee, evade a bunch of trained soldiers, and walk away from a huge fall unscathed? Seems unrealistic to me. And if super athletic most-wanted-criminal-prodigy Day can do all this, then I'm sure he can fight.

You know what else is unrealistic? BURKELY DUFFIELD FOLLOWING ME. Ok back to the topic.

And as for the viewpoints, their voices sounded exactly the same. The only thing that differentiated between their POVS was the font color. They each didn't have their own unique voice, and they are overall boring characters. No true complexities. No fatal flaws.
