- very interesting writing style that actually works with the characterization 
- i appreciated the consistency as well as the character developed 
- it reminded me of “the darkest minds” a lot idk
- i loved the MMC but i’m a little confused, cus i got this rec from tiktok, and the guy who’s supposed to be the love interest is very much NOT lol
- so i guess it’s enemies to lovers FOR REAL
- book was kinda short (u can tell it was written for a series) but i will be reading the next one :)

Couldn’t put it down. Definitely buy books 2&3 before reading because you’ll want to pick them up immediately afterwards. Don’t make my mistake and not own either🥹

I kept seeing, throughout bookstagram people praising this book (and saga), so I built quite the expectation around it. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.

The story is so interesting, so different from the fantasy that I usually read, it had so much potential... for me, the writing ruined it. I understand that we are inside the mind of a girl who is being held prisoner because of her powers (and I really enjoy all the phrases that are crossed - those things that are only in her brain and she never says them out loud), but there are other things that bothered me a lot: the repetitions - I know that she keeps repeating things to herself, but you don't need to write them over and over again (we get it); the numbers - what the hell! I think this is the first time that I read a book in which the number are not written in full (I know that this is just a technicality, and as no interference in the story, but I don't like it).

Overall I think that, this could be such a better book if the story was written in a different way. Somehow, I don't understand Warner's obsession with Juliette (it makes no sense - he wants to use her as a weapon and at the same time wants her... so why did he kept her locked up, almost dying for so long?); I, definitely, don't trust Adam - he has the same amount of obsession for Juliette, but because he's hot, that's ok). Other thing I did not get is the "end of the world" plot twist: we are lead to believe that this is sort of a "mid-apocalyptic" scenario and, apparently, is all a big government conspiracy?

Well, I'm going to read the second book, hoping it will clear some of my doubts and I start liking this story a bit much. We'll see!

I dnf'ed it, when I first read it. 
I continued because my friend convinced me. It's ok, but nothing special for me.

I really liked the first bit, but the romance and writing got steadily cringier🥴
I’m so biased against dystopian tho; I’d say for a dystopian it was pretty good. I immediately read book 2 to see if I would like the ml better.
