i loved hearing from warner’s side of things. really good novella getting in to his mind as well as finding out what is happening now that juliette is somewhere else and getting our first idea of what his dad is like and his past.

I really liked that book, it was really interesting getting in Warner’s head. Cause like yes he’s crazy. Like he’s damn obsessed, hallucination and all (or is there an actual reason for his hallucinations ?). But we also learned that he actually cares about civilians and their wellbeing. That he’s not as heartless as we think.  
Also his relationship with his father and the impact it has on him and the story. 
Kinda thinking that Warner has powers as well and that those pills he takes are to nullify them. But we’ll see. 
Really excited to see what next book has to offer.
