Oh Well

There was a bit more Warner, which was great. But mostely its just juliette doing something she shouldn’t be doing, and we all know it. And then just the collapsing bruding “you always lie to me” again and again. I’m tired of asylum Juliette and I’m tired of the most earth shattering sucking clif hangers at the end of the books. So yeah. That’s where we at. 
Mostly I think it was okay because the last one was great. But I hope it’ll be better now she is nolonger kidding herself.

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.

Aaron and Ella.


I am not insane.

Ms. Tahereh slayed once again, I already love Nazeera especially when she calls Juliette 'girl'.  Anyways, Juliette's body count? I am amazed.

This book hasn’t been my favorite so far. I’ve loved the first 3. I’m not sure if it’s mid series slump, or what.

I do love all the characters including some of the new ones. Nazeera is 🙌

I realized in this book specially, I didn’t like Castle’s character arch thus far. I felt like Castle was such a strong character in the beginning. I liked him a lot. After Omega Point, he goes into shut down mode and then just snaps out of it and he’s perfectly fine (I didn’t like that). I would have understood sadness and grief, but I felt shutting down wasn’t the reaction he would have given. Then, at some point Juliette says Castle wouldn’t make a strong supreme because he was too eager to please everyone - and I disagree on both counts. Up until that point he had always been doing what’s best for his people. Then, come this book, and he seems like he is still a pseudo- leader role and knows all Juliette and Warner’s secrets…!!! Like his character arch just isn’t feeling kosher. Anyway… 😅

I felt Juliette seemed immature/ naive at times. Which, yeah ok, she is supposed to be 17/18ish, but she is leading an entire country, so I’d expect an elevated level of maturity.

Things I loved: Kenji the barber, the beach scenes, Nazeera, the ending 

Final thought, team Warner and Kenji being besties.
