Honestly other than the end, this book was a snooze. I'm not sure I could tell you anything that happened that was super significant. I adore Juliette but this entire book was just like a backtrack from the last one. Warner has seemed to evolve so thats cool. I'm hoping the next book is better.

OMG!!!! I absolutely loved this book. Juliette's character development was very perfectly written. And even Aaron is trying to be a little polite ro others for Juliette's sake. 

The book contains lots of REVELATION! (sadly for me I've already known about it because well people love to spoil other's experience of a book). But, even after I knew the spoiler not for once I was bored or anything. I was totally intrigued and hooked with the story from starting to the very end. 

The characters, the chemistry between Aaron and Juliette, Kenji and Juliette's friendship, the shocking revelations, the Worldbuilding🤌— Tahereh Mafi did it Again!!! 

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!! 

Happy reading🌷.

It always bothered me that Juliette became the new supreme commander. She’s literally 17 and knows nothing about politics. However, this book was seriously awesome.  I thought I wouldn’t like another book in this series as much as ignite me but this was fantastic.
