3.0

the thing i liked most about this book were probably winston and brendan other than that it wasn’t exactly great. 

i really wanted more nazeera in this book, there was literally no reason for one of the most interesting characters to become so irrelevant it’s like the author forgot that she exited

the whole juliette/anderson part was so creepy and unnecessary… sighs.

antjeliest's review against another edition

<Spoiler> I just couldn’t stand Ella/Juliette being drawn to Anderson. That is not right. This whole story line with her being a puppet and Anderson magically coming back to life all the time. So disgusting. It destroyed the whole story for me.
