2.0

Let me start off by saying that this book is extremely dark and you should take the trigger warning list seriously. If you don't want to read fucked up shit, this book is not for you.

That said, the first part of the book was good. It was well written and grusome and overall interesting to read (only because it's fiction).

But the second half?
Not so much.

Don't get me wrong, there were good arcs there too. I loved the Bonny and Clide vibes. The portraying of PTSD was well written (at least, I thought so) and the Culling 2.0 was poetic (and gruesome).

But the rest? No thank you.
Somehow, Zade's god complex became the main storyline. It was too repetitive.

The way they handle Adelines PTSD? Not healthy. At all. But maybe that was the point. Idk.

One last thing: I have no idea how they manage to have poetic inner monologues and speak complete sentences during their apparently mindblowing sex? Couldn't be me.

ambrosiablue's review against another edition

Got an early start on my 2024 New Year's Resolution to stop reading books I'm not enjoying. I read the first, bought the second because fuck cliffhangers, and now that

she's been saved by Zade and is getting ready to kick her traffickers' asses

I don't really need to know the end

I'm sure the bad guys all die horrible deaths and she gets her sex drive back.

I like smut as much as the next girl, but I feel slightly dirty for reading what's basically Q Anon fanfiction.
