Update:
2.75 but im not giving it 3 starts, this book was such a let down. it really got worse with time, huh.
First review:
3.75 it was fine, but not as great and not nearly as mind blowing as the first one. Emika seemed pretty dumb at times, but the plottwists were good. It had some cliché frases that made me roll my eyes, but i liked it anyways.

The first book was just ridiculously fun, and this one, though more serious, was still something I read in basically a day. Though this does talk about the dark side of technology, what I love about it is that it also talks about the fun and the good side of technology, and that people can be complicated. Sometimes people fuck up real bad. Sometimes trauma changes people, and how we deal with that trauma and how we choose to take that out into the world-to create, and make it better, is what matters. Do recommend this duology.
This book is fun. I guess the characters fall flat for some, I can see that, but to me the plot is just so bonkers that it pulls it all through. It’s got some Fallout synth meets The Flash tv series sorta vibes to it, black mirror but in a fun way. Or like “Ready Player One”, of course. But it’s its own unique creation, and it just entertains a good amount for what it is. Character depth is something to work on, but the whole Zero plot was just so cool. A- young adult fiction.

A perfect ending
Warcross drew me in and Wildcard wrapped it up for me. It was like being in a imaginary world of people you are rooting for. The imagery was amazing and I felt like I was in the Neurolink watching unfold. This would be a excellent movie and I hope there will be a sequel for the new works with the Neurolink. If you liked Ready Player One or a gamer, this is a excellent read!

2.5 stars out of 5.
“And that’s when I realize that, at the end, we’d all wish for the same thing. Just a little more time.”
Wildcard is the sequel to Warcross which is one of my favorite books.
I love the characters and the romance that was starting. I also loved the sci-fi element to the story. I had an amazing reading experience with Warcross and there were not many things I didn't like about it.
I put off reading the sequel for about a year due to the negative reviews I saw, I was just really worried that such an anticipated release for me, would let me down. I finally read it recently and listened to it on audio.
I really did not see the purpose of book two. I think it could have been left at just Warcross or maybe with another novella or something small. This just seemed unnecessary and the conflicts seemed to just occur for the sake of another book, and not like they would have actually occurred otherwise.
Going towards the end of the novel, I enjoyed it more. I do like the way they ended the duology but overall I believe Wildcard lacked in a lot of areas, in terms of plot, character development, etc. It was a book that was just unnecessary.

I don’t think I have any spoilers in this review, but I am hiding it behind a spoiler cut just in case.
Book two of this duology is slower than book one. While Warcross was all about action through the video game, this book deals more with “real life” and the virtual world that isn’t the Warcross game. People who you thought might be good guys aren’t, those who were bad guys are kind of not, and there is a whole lot of shades of gray. There are a few twists here that make the story much more interesting than it would have been without them though the ending did feel a bit cliched especially after the story told. Overall, I enjoyed this conclusion and liked where Marie Lu went with the story. I just wish we got more of the video game.
