3.0

This book is so incredibly intriguing and has such an interesting premise but I think that premise is overshadowed by so much background information that doesn’t matter. For instance talking about Adriane’s course work and what exactly she’s learning and everything about everyone she ever meets. I would have enjoyed the book more if I could have learned more about what was in The Instructions.
