I enjoyed going back to Arcadia and seeing Dahila and Cillian again. Amara is very free spirited like Dahlia and stubborn like Cillian. I love Tallin and especially him and Amaras friendship. Can’t wait to see more of Valerian and Amara together. 
Can’t wait for book 2.

Wow just wow. I never thought I would like a point of view that wasn’t first person perspective but I did with this one. I really like a lot action in thrillers and fast paced. Because I’m always intrigued and guessing what is happening next.
I’m going to watch the movie on Hulu I hope it’s not that bad.
