This book had been on my radar for over a year at this point, but for some reason I never got around to reading it until now. What a mistake on my part because Warcross was such a fun read! I was thoroughly immersed in the world of Warcross the entire time I was reading, and though I basically spoiled every part of the book for myself (way to go Lauren), I really enjoyed it. Definitely pick this up if you’re looking for a fun, fast-paced, and futuristic story that will capture all your attention from beginning to end. I can’t wait to read Wildcard next!

Fantastic! Marie Lu is just a master of dystopia! 
This book was so much fun. It had everything that I love about dystopia and it was masterfully executed. It was thrilling, exciting, and thought provoking. The plot just kept me going. Even though I saw quite a few of the twists coming, it didn’t stop me from being invested. 
Emika goes through some wonderful development. Usually I heavily depend on some strong side characters, but this book is very much a solo show for Emika. However, I liked her so much and everything about the book was so good that it didn’t bother me at all.
I’m definitely going to read the second book as well!

Hmm it’s not the best book I’ve read but it’s not the worst either. A pretty decent book, lighthearted in its own way.
