arkonrad's review against another edition

The characters are mean and arrogant. The characters have spent the first half of the book judging each other. I didn’t even feel the intensity of the fight they had because of all the judgmental internal dialogue.

I would not consider this a YA book. This is absolutely an adult book.

monstrouscosmos's review against another edition

I really enjoyed the world building, and the exploration of each character as individuals as well as their group dynamics. the perspective taking of the chapters was also interesting, and the narrators all added nuance to their performances in ways I appreciated (especially during internal monologues). unfortunately Part 6 definitely got too trigger heavy for me, and I found the expositions started to get both much longer and much less believable. not the book for me, unfortunately!

I loved this book. I really thought I knew what would happen and even when it surprised me, it surprised me again. Every page turn was fun, mysterious, and heart dropping. The writing is so visual and descriptive to me. I love the way it all talks and shows you what’s going on. I’ve never really jumped ship for a new ship and back to an old ship on to a new ship, but boy do I just love every character with anyone, even in weird pseudo relationships that they don’t even realize is love. Great book. Great story. Wtf is gonna happen next. I really don’t know… there’s so many areas to explore here and so many questions, I can’t wait to read the other two books in the series

If this book had been around in 2014, it would've had a CHOKEHOLD on Tumblr.

2.0

The pretentiousness that runs through the entirety of this book ruins what is an interesting premise. It started out strong but has long bursts of stagnant character development and the sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop, which, when it does, is rushed and not as satisfying as one would hope. It tries too hard to be clever but fails to hit, and comes off as a pick-me novel.

I thought this book was good. I found it a bit slow and dense at times making it a bit difficult to get through.

I didn’t find the plot twist super surprising but I like the way it was explained. I found Libby to oftentimes be annoying and I wasn’t a huge fan of Tristan’s audiobook narrator. I liked Nico and Parisa’s characterizations. I also liked the rivalry between Nico and Libby. 

All in all it was a bit confusing at times but I was able to catch up and get on the same page. Not a bad book
