Personally, i didn't really enjoy the book. The whole concept of the world ending and the badass-teenagers-must-save-the-day got old real fast,ive seen it to many times in the past. It was also kind of hard to imagine certain things. But reguardless, i still forced myself to finish the book. It was A good sequel to The Loop. It was fast paced with lots more action, gore and death. This was surprisingly much darker and sadder than the last book. Hell i didnt enjoy the book but some parts left a tiny hole in my heart. My only critiques would be the pacing and romance. One of my biggest problems with the last book was the pacing. I thought maybe this book would fix it but nope! One thing after another happened with barely any breathing room yet again. The romance was also pretty bad. Relationships kind of blossom out of nowhere. But i mean what else would i expect its a YA Novel 🤷‍♀️

I will still give the book a 3.5 because it isnt necessarily bad, just not something i enjoy.

I can’t believe what I just read... What happened? I would have never expected this ending. The book got me hooked and I couldn’t put it aside. Wow
