Incredible! I absolutely loved this book, and have already begun the sequel. I found the premise of this book to be infinitely interesting, and every chapter made me consider something else.

I loved the depth in every character, and related especially to Citra. I felt that the world-building was vivid and had some excellent details and considerations. On to the next one!

Tak to mám konečně za sebou. Bohužel, oproti tomu, jaký to je boom, se mi to nelíbilo. Dlouho vůbec. Do čtení jsem se nutila jenom kvůli tomu, že mě zajímalo, jak to skončí. A konec byl epický - takže jsem ráda, že jsem to dotáhla do konce. Jestli ovšem půjdu do pokračování, to si ještě musím rozmyslet.

Ta myšlenka je úžasná. Opravdu. Když se na to dívám z té filozofické stránky, je to skvost. Hlavní zápletka super. Ale způsob, jakým to bylo podané, se mi prostě nelíbil.

Overall a good book and great for those looking for that similar jolt that you get from your classic YA books! The world building is mediocre at best and is not immersive and some plot points seem forced! But great dialogue and action propels you forward in the book! Really don’t know how we are going to proceed into the trilogy cause the first book stands on its own pretty well!

The first time I picked up this book, it didn’t really capture me and I put it down for… looks lien two years. But I read it one sitting today so it just must have been me! I wasn’t sure how there could be conflict in a perfect world, but everything felt really genuine and boy was there conflict. Because of course there is no such thing as a perfect world. I’m really looking forward to reading the next books.
