3.5

I liked this soooo much more than the first book. It’s very easy to read but the excessive metaphors took some getting used to. The metaphors make it seem ALMOST like it’s trying (and failing) to be poetic to be honest. It’s definitely a page turner and the plot was good, to the point where i would read for less than an hour and already have read 100 pages (a lot for me). But it extremely lacks in world-building- why is there even an apocalypse? what is the apocalypse in this world? It mainly talks about what the government wants to do but not how it got to that point like girl tell me what’s going on please. Then I feel like I could get so much more into it because a lot other than the well fleshed out characters seemed to be left to imagination in terms of the universe they’re in. Overall I liked the character development, especially Warner’s and how Juliette finally realised she should stop feeling sorry for herself and do something about her situation to the point where she becomes even relatable (don’t worry girl, i would go for them both too).

Jesus H Christ. I genuinely don't understand how this and the first book were written by the same person. Like the first book was fine but THIS. Lordy. I adored this book. Warner is my favorite as resident lover and pyscho but, Kenji is a verryyy close second as probably one of the only people who doesn't handle Juliette with kid gloves. I am so excited for the next books for real.
