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.

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?
