I love finally reading a series after putting it off for sososo long and it being way better than I expected! It's extremely satisfying... I don't really know how I feel about Juliette's character but I love Kenji and am trying to my best to start loving Warner :) The moment between Warner and Juliette thoooo ooof
Also the name Kenji constantly reminds of Kenshi from Mortal Kombat lmao

I've been seeing this series all over bookstagram during the pandemic and I finally got it. I must say that I enjoyed this book. It grabs your interest from the very first page. It's a very interesting way to capture Juliette's mind with a lot of reputation and strike throughs which does get a little annoying at times but as she finds herself, you see they gradually become less and less. This book kind of gave me some shadow and bone vibes in the best way. Adam reminds me of Mal, which could go either way but Warner is giving me serious Darkling vibes and Kenji kind of reminds me of Jesper.
So overall I enjoyed diving into this dystopian world and I'm curious to see how the story continues.

rereading and catching up in this series for the release of defy me on april 2nd!
i definitely think i liked this a lot more the second time reading it. i wanted to reread the first two books so i could read books 3-5 because i thought i didn't remember anything that happened but turns out i remembered EVERYTHING. it was interesting to go back and read scenes knowing more information than juliette did. i have 6 days to read the next 3 books so wish me luck!
