A review by epearly
Reboot by Amy Tintera
3.0
I really liked this book! I found it exciting, fast paced, and interesting. It certainly wasn't flawless, but as is the case with so many books I read, I found the good to far outweigh the not-so-good. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes dystopians or post-apocalyptic type books. Action junkies would like this too. Also maybe if you like superhuman/zombie things. Try this out.
Here we go into spoilers...
The overall premise of this book I found really cool, and an original take on zombies or superhumans. All of the death references gave the book that "undead" vibe for me. I also loved having two different adversaries, HARC and the humans. Especially since human is the perspective you usually read.
I love action/adventure things, so I ate up all of the physicality in this, and during the break-in of HARC I couldn't put it down! I also loved the relationship that grew between Wren and Callum (though I did think it developed too fast for my taste).
Though I loved both of those things, I did also have problems with them. Well, not problems per say, but things I noticed that could have been improved. Firstly, the break-in to HARC went off without a hitch. There was the small moment when Wren was trapped behind the glass, but that was over quickly. I don't think that every book has to have plans that go awry (I love it when a plan comes together), but it could have made it better to have a more serious setback. Secondly, I think that Wren's struggle for her humanity could have been so much more of a focus that would have been so wonderful to read about. I definitely think that that's what the author tried to get at, but I just felt it could have been done better. Her relationship with Callum, I think, would have been much more developed if she had gone through this, and that moment when she cried when she thought she and lost him would have had so much more impact.
On the whole, though, I really liked it and I am really excited to see where the next one goes because this had a bit of a cliffhanger!!
