Well, I definitely liked this book more than the first one. I still didn't love it, but it didn't drag as badly as The Atlas Six did. Once more, the beginning of this book was the best. It was intense and action-packed and really explored the characters well in an interesting way. And then, once again, it stagnated. The characters didn't make many meaningful developments and I had a hard time of tracking the plot and who likes who (maybe because it's been about two years since I read the first book. . .). But I do enjoy (some of) the characters as they are and I have hopes for the relationships that they'll develop in book three.

I’m just here for the Libby Rhodes corruption.

I was hoping for the plot to build, but after suffering through the initiation it was clear that this sequel does nothing to improve upon the already terrible first book. DNFd to save my ears.

Pretty basic fantasy story, preferred the first book. I think the author attempts depth in the story that just results in confusion of the plot and messages of the series. Would rather it just told the story as a quick fun read.

Too slow. The story idea is excellent but it’s just not keeping my attention.

Molto delusa. Avevo alte aspettative e mi sono annoiata a morte. Non succede niente fino al finale. Non so se avrò voglia di leggere il finale (l'unica cosa che mi interessa è capire se Nico e Libby si metteranno insieme).

im so divided on how to feel about this book. on one hand, olivie blake's writing is undeniably gorgeous and the imagery she creates is so vivid i can picture it so well... on the other hand, though, the ramblings just went on and on and on and on.... a girl can only read so much philosophical world questioning yapping! it's giving me flashbacks to my school papers: verbose for the sake of hitting a word count!
