Mila 2.0: Renegade by Debra Driza
4.0
While the beginning part of the book reeked of cheesy romantic awkwardness, the tone was quickly shifted as Mila's attitudes and mindsets developed and changed. It was definitely more of a coming-of-age than the first book, which makes sense. Mila has had more time to stop and think and reflect on the new information that she has, rather than constantly trying to run and comprehend at the same time.
Some faults that I saw in this book actually turned into highlights for me. There were some instances where Mila's thoughts and suspicions and worries are overdone. However, that intensity of emotion and conviction carry on for so long that the reader starts to believe it themselves. Right after we are brainwashed that way, one of the many many plot twists falls in our lap and it starts all over again.
All in all, an exciting, twisting book filled with nuggets of teenager angst, laced with adrenaline, and bound with adventure.
