I enjoyed the romance. It was definitely a slow burn. I really like Warner; he has got to be one of my favorite book boyfriends by far.
Juliette has always pissed me off. Every time she does something stupid, I just want to throw the book across the room. I feel like she never knows what she wants, and when she does know what she wants it's always the worst possible choice she could pick. I don't like the books being in her POV because I feel like she makes Adam look way better than he is because she "loves him". There is a lot about her I personally would change if I had the chance. I think in this book she got A LOT better.
OH. GOD. So... the powers... I don't really care about this kinda thing, but Juliette is WAY too overpowered. I mean if she wanted to, she could destroy the whole earth. I just feel like she is unmatched (conveniently) except for Adam and Warner. I don't know it really bothered me that she literally is the strongest one. I feel like a power system should have some balance.
Personally, I think this author would write really amazing romances. I just feel maybe dystopia and fantasy aren't really her thing. She isn't really good at going into detail about fights. By no means am I saying that she is a bad author, because she isn't I really like her books. All I am saying is that maybe just romance would work better for her.
Maybe this is just me being really picky, but this book really wasn't it for me. It took me like 2 weeks to read it, and that's long for me.

I enjoyed it much more than the others. Ignite Me is also plotless. We spend a lot of time wrapped up in Juliette's drama. But at least we have Warner. He is charming as ever, and in this book, all his actions are explained and justified.
<soiler> Being in Juliette's head is exhausting. Also, she spends a great deal of time describing a wardrobe instead of focusing on world-building. But I get it. She spends most of the book locked in rooms, tanks, houses, or boats. The poor girl can't describe what she can't see.
Yet it's vital to a dystopia to know that Warner does, in fact, have good taste in clothes, and he's an obsessive-compulsive like me. But, instead of color-coordinating books, he color-coordinates his closet.
This book has some interesting scenes and subplots. It does not develop them because the drama overshadows them.
The war is laughable. In the blink of an eye, Juliette manages to defeat the commandant. Everything felt rushed and convenient.
