“I can love him, but I can’t depend on him to be my backbone. I can’t be my own person if I constantly require someone else to hold me together.” I couldn’t put this book down, read it all in a whole day. The plot is so addicting, like you just HAVE to know how the story continues. Kenji is my favorite character. We see a different, more serious side of him and start to wonder about his life before he met Juliette. We see more of Warner and his love for Juliette genuinely makes you root for him to be end game. Adam, sweet, Adam. He’s perfect, but there’s something about Warner who only has a soft spot for Juliette that makes him so more appealing. Also….we will NOT talk about the “Adam incident”. I threw my book at the wall. Anywho, read this book, read this series. You have 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.

adventurous emotional slow-paced

3.5

     I liked the first book better. There were a lot of little things I think If it was done just a little different the book would have been way better.

     All my opinions on the characters still stand form the first book. I LOVE Warner and Kenji.  HATE Adam. And I think Juliette is too dramatic. Also I kinda feel like Castle is useless, he is just kinda there and doesn’t really add anything as far as the plot goes.

     I love political fantasy, especially if they have to do with war. Maybe it was because this book isn’t a fantasy, but I didn’t love it. 

     I feel like these are romance books with a subplot of dystopian. I don’t really feel like much of the politics or really anything is focused on more than the romance. It’s not a bad thing, just not really what I was expecting. 

      I think this book is a little too long for my liking. It was definitely a lot longer then it needed to be. The author could have taken 50-100 pages off and it still would have been good. 

     The war. It was like 3 chapters then it was over. The war should have been more elaborate, it’s a whole war for gods sake. You could have taken out some of the interactions with Adam or Castle, and talked more about the war. I don’t know I feel like the war was an afterthought where as the relationships with Juliette wasn’t. 

     Like I said If a lot of little things were done differently the book had potential to be a really good book.
