The main issue I have with this book is that I almost got whiplash from jumping from chapter to chapter. SO MUCH happens in such a short time you get no time to process it - especially in the last quarter when all of a sudden (at least that's what it felt like) Lo

is completely infatuated with Lev, wants to join and defend the Unity Project and doesn't question the fact that her sister isn't even in the Unity Project anymore. I understand that people can get sucked into cults really quickly, but with her it was a 180-degree change in what felt like days

.

I don't know, in comparision to Sadie this was such a letdown.

This wasn’t what I was expecting. It was enjoyable but not as dark or thrilling as I thought it was going to be. I didn’t really like how it was told because I felt like you couldn’t connect to the characters and their storylines as much. Also until the end we didn’t get to really see how bad the cult was. Also a certain part in this just doesn’t make sense it’s a spoiler so don’t read this but I don’t understand why she would just join it after fighting them for so long. Overall it was enjoyable but nothing amazing like Sadie was.

diana_blackmoon's review against another edition

The book is boring and I can see how will the plot goes from a mile away...
Maybe it is my bad experiences with Christian Polish church. Maybe it is just the book's fault. Maybe it is because the main character is blind and her thoughts are repetitive. We will never know...
