I couldn’t put this book down.
I loved the premise of a story about the heroes ten years after defeating the baddie and seeing how they’re thriving - or not in many cases.
Sloane is awesome purely because she’s an MC who isn’t really all that likeable to everyone around her. She’s antagonistic, selfish, taciturn and anti-social; the best thing is, she knows it too. Sloane has no illusions that she is a hero and doesn’t let it get to her head - unlike certain others, ahem, Matt.
It also infuriated me that everyone gets mad at Sloane instead of seeing just how much she’s hurting and struggling with PTSD.
The magical systems were really interesting and I enjoyed how history and backstory were given through government files and memos rather than frequent flashbacks.
I love Mox. That’s all I have to say.
I did wonder a lot about a certain character who just disappeared. I kept expecting them to somehow pop up with some convoluted story. I’m hoping that this will be brought up and explained in the next book.
I’m really excited that there is another one because I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters or this world just yet.
I thoroughly enjoyed Veronica Roth’s first venture into NA and I would highly recommend it if your a fan of magic, superheroes, prophecies and curmudgeonly awesome characters.

This book was a pretty solid read. It took me a long time because of a lot of transititon in my personal life, but I'm glad I finished it. I feel like I've been reading it for a while and at times it was easy to fall off a bit, but once I hit a certain point I was like GO GO GO!

I loved this dark and stormy aftermath of a Chosen One story. Has a Buffy like feel that doesn’t pull any punches about what it would be like to live with the fame, fortune, and lostness of being a former chosen one. It tackles finding yourself and who you are when the battle is over, a fierce look at PTSD. Sloan and her friends have been there and done that taking down the Dark One ten years ago; but she has never really moved on. Now they get sucked into a magic filled parallel Earth and are once again tasked with taking down a big bad or else.
