“Once we have total power, what’s to keep us from becoming villains ourselves?”
I loved the political nature of this and the question of who gets to decide what’s good and what’s evil with the introduction of a prodigy antidote. This is the slowest burn I have ever encountered and while Nova and Adrian are finally getting somewhere their alter egos are back at war and I’m excited. That being said this book felt very filler to me. It was very repetitive and didn’t really pick up until the ending. But overall, I’m enjoying this series and I can’t wait to see how it ends.
