Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:

I had fun with this. I followed along with the audiobook & it really made the story go by. I wasn't the biggest fan of the narrator for Adrian--I thought that he sounded too old for the character of Adrian & too robotic. But as the book went on, I was able to push thru my dislike for his voice portrayal & enjoy the story that Marissa Meyer was creating for us.

I thought the powers were interesting & how someone gained their superpower was unique (even though how they were obtained was, for the most part, really sad). This was very action heavy, and while that sometimes doesn't bother me, there was A LOT of that in this & I found myself just absently listening to those parts. There were some parts that I found cheesy & there were some tidbits of information/things that I saw happening or being found out, but it was the way that they were revealed that I really liked & I'm gonna start book ASAP.


We do the see the start of a slow burn romance blossom between Adrian & Nova in this & I'm curious to see how its going to play out given Nova's real identity & Adrian being an actual Renegade. I already feel the angst!!
