Classic Marie Lu book, good action & liked the darker elements. Pretty lame resolution but worth it to end the series in 2 books. Good twists.

''Think of all that a single person can do. All the indescribable good. All the
unspeakable evil.''

May there be future dawns.

Marie Lu will write the FUCK out of a teen dystopian fiction novel, that much has stayed the same. I like the split perspectives, and really appreciate the relationship between Talin and her mom!

My one criticism is that I think the ending is a little rushed.

i personally enjoyed this more than skyhunter but for some reason everything felt so…easy? the characters almost never had any problems carrying out their “dangerous” plans and came out of it pretty much unscathed except for minor injuries. the villain was beatable and i wasn’t very thrilled with the way he went down. i suppose i was expecting something more. this was a duology about war but the war elements were glossed over in my opinion. there were mentions of “bloody massacre” and “atrocities” but there weren’t really any actual scenes depicting them. for a YA fantasy novel, this was a good read!
