Score: Six points out of ten.
It's time. It's finally time. I wanted to read Reboot for a while but never got around till now. I eventually picked it up, but not before glancing at the blurb, which made Reboot seem like a swift and intriguing read. However, the ratings said otherwise. When I closed the final page of Reboot, it was only okay.
It starts with the first person I see, Wren, training in a boot camp run by an antagonistic organisation. She, like many others, is a reboot, a former person who has been dead for almost three hours until she came back to life stronger but less human. This world is now split into two sides—the humans and the reboots, but Wren wants to change that by rebelling. The pacing is unpredictable as sometimes it can be monotonous and other times the opposite. It would've been better if the pacing flowed more consistently, and the removal of filler pages would also be an appreciated touch. There was romance interspersed in Reboot, but not much, much to my liking. The conclusion is enthralling and suddenly ends. I might enjoy the second and final part of the duology, Rebel, but not the one written by Marie Lu.

I like some good old some fashionned dystopia. It had everything I like about dystopia : strong af female main character, a revolution, treason and stuff, a little romance, hard training and missions, etc. I really liked the concept of a human robot kind of stuff. However, I did find the romance a little bit cringe. I would have like Wren to be colder.
