When I was finished reading the book I thought there was still a third. But I have since found out that Feedback was the end of the series. That is really quite disappointing to me. The first book was quite good, but I definitely felt the second book was much weaker. I would like to find out what happens after the the last chapter. I think there could be another interesting book in that.
Again, a bit like Westworld... It ended so abruptly leaving tons of unanswered questions. Seeing as this was written seven years ago in 2012, I’m assuming no third book. Hmm... I’m left feeling incomplete, but oh well. Not might favorite series.
After the previous book, the sequel had so much potential. There were so many ways it could have gone, and it went... none of them. I'm so upset, because I adored Variant.
I have mixed feelings about Feedback. After really liking Variant, I knew I wanted to read this one. It just...didn't grab my attention the way Variant did.
Feedback lost all the creepiness and mystery that I loved about Variant. There's still some mystery and some creepiness, but...I don't know, it just didn't seem as there. I think it's because we learned more about the people who run the school, and there's the whole thing with the androids, and you sort of learn more about what's really going on. I liked that we learned more about the school. but we never got why they're running Maxfield and creating androids.
I'm still not sure what to think. I mean, I liked learning more about Maxfield and everything, but at the same time, the mystery surrounding Maxfield was lost. Here's the thing with Feedback that's sort of frustrating. Things are resolved enough that there really doesn't need to be a third book. But the door is also open for a third book.
Feedback really felt like an afterthought sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I liked the book and all, and I am glad I read it but I think I would have been just as fine not reading it.
I'm not completely sure what to think of Feedback because Variant worked so well on its own. In all honesty, Feedback probably wasn't going to meet the expectations I had going in. It's such a strange sequel. Strange in that it's a sequel that works well on it's own. You could probably read Feedback on it's own and have a pretty good idea of what's going on. It picks up where Variant left off, but both books work so well on their own that it's weird to think of Feedback as a sequel.
I'm feeling pretty neutral about the characters. They did what I expected but I also didn't care about them either way. Plus, it was hard to picture where everything was. It's not that you don't know where things are or what they look like, but with Feedback, I just couldn't picture the setting in my head.
Final Thoughts: I did like Feedback. I liked learning more about the history of Maxfield Academy, and I wish we knew why someone wanted to replace people with androids. But Feedback was also frustrating because I would have been just as fine not reading it. Feedback gets 3 stars.

loved variant. but I have no idea wtf I just read to be completely honest
It took me a couple of chapters to really get into this, but once I got back into this world, the story moved. It really felt like a continuation of "Variant" and I appreciated that. Too many sequels get bogged down in unnecessary details and side-plots, but "Feedback" didn't have that problem. The intensity kept up right to the very end, which makes me wonder if there'll be a third book in the series (the story seems to come to a natural conclusion, but it also feels like it could go on). All in all, a very enjoyable series with great characters and an exciting story.
I just absolutely hated the resolution and hate that I was able to "call it" about half way through the book (although I kept thinking, "Pleas do not let it be....")
This was a satisfying and exciting end to the Variant series. Benson continues his war against the mysterious forces that have trapped him and his classmates in a private school. Benson is determined to free himself and the rest from those that have captured them, while trying to solve the problem of why some of the students are androids. This is a wonderful sci-fi, dystopian-ish book with a strong male protagonist. Put this into the hands of kids who enjoyed The Mazerunner.
