This book is not particularly well-written. The characters are pretty generic YA dystopian, it’s unrealistic in many ways, and I don’t really get who Juliette is. That being said, the vibe of the book is right up my alley. The freeform and intrusive thoughts and weird metaphors and all that stuff is super fun and vibey to me, and I really love reading about crazy girls.

When I started reading this book I really wasn’t a fan but by the end I have been debating reading the next one?
I didn’t love it but I’m intrigued to see if the story gets better as the series continues?
I also wasn’t a big fan of the writing style- just personal preference but I know there will be people out there who adore it!!
Who knows maybe I’ll love the series if I keep reading it but for now a 2.

This was an excellent novel. I love Juliette and Adam. Warner intrigues me. It was a very fast read. Magi’s style of writing is very unique.

I think I missed the time frame where I would have eaten this up. There's a lot of world building that happens that is super intriguing but the romance element is juvenile (intentionally since it makes sense for the characters) but I cannot stop cringing.

I don't know if I will continue, I might read the Destroy Me novella since it's at the end of my copy from the library and see how I feel about it then.

and i’m done after almost a month😳 this book took so long as i had difficulties continuing it as the characters were unbearable🧍‍♂️the only character i like is kenji as he reminds me of jesper from soc and everyone else is just so serious and horny like i know humanity is destroyed but u need to calm down, juliette apparently is the only girl to exist at this point where all three male leads crave her and for what reason idk. i get she has one of a kind powers and that is fascinating but anything else i don’t get 😐talking about romance in this…i hate it! i’ve mentioned i’m not a romance reader and this is one of the examples of romance i can’t stand, this book has more spicy moments than i want cuz i honestly don’t care about that, i would rather you build something emotional bonding together and tension than straight up making out every few chapters. okay so world building i liked, it’s very similar to “the maze runner” where humanity is destroyed and only the gov exist with some people who are either slaved or have powers, this is many ways parallels to the real world. last line “superhero” okay mileven… i know adam and juliette are not endgame and it’s warner and juliette but i’m intrigued how this enemies to lovers will work for them as so far juliette hates warner with a passion but i know warner is going to have this angsty sad backstory that will make me like him. i wish i get more badass juliette ALONE i don’t need a man to save her🙄 like if she can punch through metal walls i think she can save herself. there were some lines i underlined that i liked and related to but a lot of cringey lines overlooked this sadly. in terms of creating a villain i’m intrigued to see how warner is viewed even tho he probably isn’t a villain later on as i don’t trust adam (he’s just too nice). warner reminds me of 001 was stranger things except he probably has a better storyline lmao and also c!dream🤭😩 i could honestly like him until i know his true motif and backstory to change me like always just like kaz being seen as a bad guy but isn’t but no one can compare to kaz and his gloves (mentioned to touch juliette) just like kanej endgame so… the writing style i actually really like at the start with the cross outs but it just randomly disappeared all of a sudden and barely returned, it made more sense to make it slowly fade out to the end of the book as it’s supposed to highlight juliette’s insecurity but it wasn’t as frantic? i’ll be reading the rest of the series i hope cuz with how it ended i’m interested to see this war i guess with the minority vs the corrupt. but i’m not in the fantasy/dystopian mood i think that’s why my rating is low but if i read this last year i would have enjoyed it. for me personally why it isn’t a higher rating is the characters’ dialogue it was cringe and nothing added much than they were very horny😐 but honestly my brain is doing the work to think of situations these characters than can be in and arcs they could have until i read the rest of the books but this series has potential for me to actually enjoy!
