I’m not gonna lie, this book got me in a reading slump for a while but goddamn that ending was stressful. So much action was packed into the last few chapters. I was on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time. The miscommunication can get a bit frustrating but that is literally what I signed up for by picking up this book. I’m too invested in the characters so I’ll definitely continue reading this series.

The story continues to be gripping. Even though in the middle there were some slow bits, it was really nice to see Adrian and Nova's relationship blossom, as well as Oscar and Ruby's.
That ending though! Can't wait to see how this story plays out.

I found this book very entertaining, I enjoyed this book much more than its prequel. I felt like the characters were much more fleshed out, in the first book I felt like there were too many storylines for each character and it got confusing to follow. This second book, mainly focused on Nova and Adrian which made it much easier to follow; then the other renegades were seen as supporting characters instead of trying to fight for the main character. The plot and idea of this book were also far more fascinating than the first one in the first book we see how Nova infiltrates the Renegades which is entertaining, but in this second book, we have to see how she balances both of her lives, which is far more entertaining. . I love how we were introduced to new characters such as the hawthorn and frostbites team but we still learned new information about older characters. Finally, the ending to this book is amazing and I can't wait to dive into the third book and see what Nova does; does she reveal who she is, does she keep living this lie her whole life?

God this book made my anxiety levels go through the roof. I was so invested in the book that in the last ten chapters I could feel nova’s anticipation and stress . I can’t believe the book after this came out four years later, i can’t wait that long and have placed the next book on hold at the library immediately. Of course the book was really good, matching the first one, and I read it in a single day. I gave it less stars than the first one because the shock of the creativity and beautiful story work had worn off a bit. But it was fantastic, same as before. The romance got even better, it was very well told and I was so so invested in it . Wow!! Also this is the first book i’ve read this year that wasn’t part of the dymocks challenge, but i had to read it after reading the first one. Read on 24th Jan.

omg--i never thought i would rate a sci-fi book 5 stars,, but here we are!! WOW this book was so so so SOOOOO GOOD OH MY GOD!!! one of the most interesting stories i've ever read, especially because the main character nova is so complicated and so... morally gray. the main character is usually supposed to be "a good guy" you know what i mean? but nova is definitely... not that lmao. i find myself feeling so bad for adrian ahh i love him so much and he's gonna be so hurt when he finds out that nova is nightmare FNEWUKGFE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT'S GONNA PLAY OUT BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO START THE NEXT BOOK!! i just bought it today so yay
