This is an excellent YA Dystopian! Thrilling edge of your seat ride. I hate that I have to wait 2 weeks for the next one (from the library)! Love these characters!

There's a lot of technobabble, but the themes of love, perseverance, and ethics are strong enough that I can overlook it. Plus, Cole and Catarina are pretty fun characters that I enjoy exploring.

This book has been sitting on my To Be Read shelf for a while now, and I don't know why because it is AMAZING. I can't believe how much I adored it! From the very first chapter, I became hooked into a unique, terrifying world. The story kept my attention even after I had to put it down.

The characters are wonderful. Cat is a great character with a complex history and backstory. Cole is a sweetheart and definitely book boyfriend material. I loved the tenderness and honesty of their romance.

The story is one of the best I've written. Not only was it packed with magic and science and expertly written, it had some amazing twists and surprises. Pieces of the plot were wonderfully tied together for an ending that shocked and riveted me.

I loved this book in a way that stunned me, and I recommend it to anyone who loves sci fi, complex human relationships, and science. A smart, quick, adrenaline-filled must read!

Fun, quick YA read. The story moved along with nice surprises, and interesting plot points. Excited for the next one.

This hit on all the good tropes for me: strong, intelligent heroine, enemies to lovers, protective boyfriend, save the world, psychological games. All the plot twists really kept my attention. The futuristic world building was fascinating and terrifying. This book checked all the boxes, in my opinion.
