The Warcross duology is one of the best I’ve ever read. The characters, the story, the world-building, everything is pristine and incredibly well thought-out. Wildcard itself is an incredible sequel. Every relationship and character from Warcross was built upon in Wildcard, as well as the addition of new and exciting characters. What is truly unrivaled in the Warcross duology is the motivations of the characters. You feel yourself in the same headspace as both the heroes and the villains. The moral question that is posed: “Would you take away free will in order to make a better world?” is so incredibly difficult to answer. Nuance is a topic that Marie Lu deals with fantastically. Truly an amazing sequel in an amazing duology.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child abuse, Confinement, Grief, and Gun violence

Moderate: Blood, Sexual content, Suicide, Kidnapping, and Medical content

Minor: Acephobia/Arophobia, Abandonment, and Bullying

Medical content is for hospital setting for two(?) scenes (both scenes are not that long) and arophobia (by main character) goes unchallenged.
