currently struggling to find the right words to describe this breathtaking, action-packed story. i’ve always been a fan of marie lu’s works and how they keep you reading until you’ve reached the end of the novel. i was introduced to a world that made me fall in love with all the characters and the ways they worked together to fight against monsters that i pitied rather than hated. this book kept me at the edge of my seat until the very end and i can’t wait to start the next one! 10/10 recommend

Would you do everything in your power to fight for your nation? I truly feel for Tamlin and her internal struggles throughout this book. I love how she was able to use sign language as a strength. Marie Lu did a beautiful job at writing this book. I cared for the characters and enjoyed getting an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses in ways that I did not anticipate.
There are so many similarities to our current world to the one Marie created. There's always someone in power who wants more and will do anything at all costs.
