Oh my gosh Aaron mother ducking Warner I’m obsessed, that man really is THE book boyfriend. And I’m so glad I stuck through this series and kept reading because Warner just keeps getting better and better

Damm if I though the last book was good this one is even better! Juliette really comes into her own in this one. She is more confident and creates boundaries while maintaining her character. Still love Warner and Kenji. I am super excited about these next few books!!

This book really aggravates me. It feels like I was reading the same conversation over and over. Everyone is far too emotional and there’s no logical person there to help calm things down. 

There is way too much focus on the romance and the emotional sides of the book that the plot and character development suffers. Juliette finally starts to understand her powers, but it has felt like such a background thing yet its key to the story?

Adam is still incredibly aggravating and confusing. He’s so annoying! I’m glad Juliette has finally realised how pessimistic he really is, and how strange his obsession with her when “she was broken” truly was. I hope he falls off a cliff I really don’t care for him. 

how he belittled Juliette’s imprisonment in the first book, even after being in the same cell as her, was actually disgusting, and wasn’t fully realised. Just because others have it harder than Juliette that doesn’t diminish the struggles that she went through?

Kenji’s confusing to me. I don’t know why he jumps to the conclusion that Juliette’s being a dickhead or whatever - I thought his character was meant to be more logical? Idk he was written weirdly to me.

Ok. With Aaron Warner, a lot of this book felt a bit like history revisionism and gaslighting Juliette into making her believe that Aaron’s not that bad - after all the things he did, theres reasons!!! It didn’t feel planned really, it felt like she realised Aaron was really popular so rewrote the

child torture and Aaron killing that soldier

stuff in order to make him redeemable. It’s too perfect. 
Aaron himself is kinda funny - He does carry this book a lot.

idc about any of the other side characters i cant even tell u their names tbh

The final build up to Anderson’s assassination was so fast and easy. The fact we spend 320 pages on a love triangle and like 20 on executing the main antagonist is ATROCIOUS. This guy should’ve been dead years ago if hes that easy to kill.

I started this book immediately after having finished the previous book in the series and then proceeded to finish this book in less than two days. It was brilliant. I loved the way in which the characters developed and how their relationships developed too. I thought it was great to get a glimpse into the reasoning of why certain characters do what they do and I feel I am more attached to the characters now. Some more than others *cough cough* Adam. 

Jokes aside I think this is the best book in the trilogy.

Juliette has finally found herself after years of isolation and thinking she’s a monster. I’m so happy for everyone! Thought the finale fell a little too rushed and flat and easy for our group.
