I did not enjoy Likel1k3 as much as I thought I would (especially since I loved Jay Kristoff’s Illuminae Files and Nevernight Chronicle). The characters are under-developed, and the melodrama was a bit much. It had several instances of one of my biggest pet peeves—where characters are constantly getting interrupted during important conversations. I did like the romance aspect though. I do hope I like the sequels more.
