This one was alot heavier than the previous books of the series in my opinion, with the content delving into multiple deep topics and introducing revelation after revelation. I loved Kenji's pov within this book and I can't wait to see how his relationship with Nazeera grows. Although I find it annoying that Anderson doesn't stay dead, I understand how it would tie into the plot due to the consequences of Sonya and Sara's capture. I also think that Evie's death was too quick and that it was too easy for Ella to roam the facility.

Love the Warner/Kenji relationship

Another hit from Tahereh. I just love love and the way she presents it. Kenji brings the humour and like him it feels like every character brings something to the table whether it’s for entertainment value or to demonstrate different struggles.
