I found this book very entertaining, I enjoyed this book much more than its prequel. I felt like the characters were much more fleshed out, in the first book I felt like there were too many storylines for each character and it got confusing to follow. This second book, mainly focused on Nova and Adrian which made it much easier to follow; then the other renegades were seen as supporting characters instead of trying to fight for the main character. The plot and idea of this book were also far more fascinating than the first one
in the first book we see how Nova infiltrates the Renegades which is entertaining, but in this second book, we have to see how she balances both of her lives, which is far more entertaining.
. I love how we were introduced to new characters such as the hawthorn and frostbites team but we still learned new information about older characters. Finally, the ending to this book is amazing and I can't wait to dive into the third book and see what Nova does; does she reveal who she is, does she keep living this lie her whole life?

God this book made my anxiety levels go through the roof. I was so invested in the book that in the last ten chapters I could feel
nova’s anticipation and stress
. I can’t believe the book after this came out four years later, i can’t wait that long and have placed the next book on hold at the library immediately. Of course the book was really good, matching the first one, and I read it in a single day. I gave it less stars than the first one because the shock of the creativity and beautiful story work had worn off a bit. But it was fantastic, same as before. The
romance got even better, it was very well told and I was so so invested in it
. Wow!! Also this is the first book i’ve read this year that wasn’t part of the dymocks challenge, but i had to read it after reading the first one. Read on 24th Jan.

The second book grew on me a lot, although I still could predict a lot of things. I love the diversity and uniqueness of the characters that adds a nice touch to this story. I really liked seeing thoughts and feelings of the opposing characters and how they might be more alike than they thought. The plot is filled to the brim and very intriguing so much that you can’t put the book down.  I tend to always like second books in trilogies, and this did not disappoint my expectations. The story has so many cute and interesting details that I always was interested in the situation. Although, the book is more on the heavier side of writing, it is a very worthy for reading. I am looking forward to the big reveal in the next book. <3
