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.

This was even more unsettling than the first one. I think that the main storyline was executed well, and the plot was fairly decent, but it was just very uncomfortable to read at times. I think there were a lot more trigger warnings in this book than in the first. (Once again, definitely read the warnings prior to reading this book)
