I went into this book with super high expectations. I feel like that's always the start to a review of a book I didn't really love. Don't get me wrong I liked this book. I just didn't love it.
I enjoyed the romance. It was definitely a slow burn. I really like Warner; he has got to be one of my favorite book boyfriends by far.
Juliette has always pissed me off. Every time she does something stupid, I just want to throw the book across the room. I feel like she never knows what she wants, and when she does know what she wants it's always the worst possible choice she could pick. I don't like the books being in her POV because I feel like she makes Adam look way better than he is because she "loves him". There is a lot about her I personally would change if I had the chance. I think in this book she got A LOT better.
OH. GOD. So... the powers... I don't really care about this kinda thing, but Juliette is WAY too overpowered. I mean if she wanted to, she could destroy the whole earth. I just feel like she is unmatched (conveniently) except for Adam and Warner. I don't know it really bothered me that she literally is the strongest one. I feel like a power system should have some balance.
Personally, I think this author would write really amazing romances. I just feel maybe dystopia and fantasy aren't really her thing. She isn't really good at going into detail about fights. By no means am I saying that she is a bad author, because she isn't I really like her books. All I am saying is that maybe just romance would work better for her.
Maybe this is just me being really picky, but this book really wasn't it for me. It took me like 2 weeks to read it, and that's long for me.
