After taking few deep breaths, I... still don't feel better, in fact. That was terrible. And great. Colina would say: Terrific. I had to give this five stars, because, OK, I didn't cry or anything, but! It. Was. So. Amazing. And disgusting, most of the time.
The plot is a thousand times better than the Awakening plot, and that one already is pretty much amazing. So the plot is an unbelievable thing. Waking up in an asylum, not knowing anyone... I was heartbroken for Colina. But then when she came into that room and saw Dean/Luke/whatever, I drowned in feels. Awakening's climax went slowly upwards, but this... I didn't have time to flip the page, it was too addictive and quick and I loved it I totally loved it. But be sure to get prepared for lots of plot twists. Yeah, they were great, but sometimes heartbreaking. And the end... It's even worse than the ending of Awakening. Forget that. Even the ending of Allegiant is better than the ending of Awakening.
The characters...
I loved Colina in this book, she embraced who she was and didn't give up on those she loved and she was cool.
Luke. Okay, I can basically be grateful for him being alive. But anyway.... PLEASE GIMME MORE OF THAT HOT HUMAN BEING!
Dean. I don't know, I'm still confused about him. Okay. He is definitely handsome, and protective, and kinda cute, but ... Erghh. Too complicated, everything about him and Luke is too complicated. But in a good way.
I loved Wendy and some other people. In my last review I was sad about character development, here it's too perfect and too clever and too tricky. So big thumbs up. The thing Catrina did there with Mildred, oh my.
What I didn't like about this book? I don't know. The style of writing is good, not perfect, but really good. I don't like this cover that much either, but it's still a lot better than Awakening's cover. And yeah, I missed information about the world they live in. I just got more confused, because in Awakening I thought it was like some people had powers-Healers&Death Dealers, but now there are also amazing Readers and I am confused but I love that world anyway.
People, go read it, seriously, you'll love it!
I am just afraid of the last book. There will be lots of plot twists, I feel it in my bones. Just please, don't let any major character die. Not again. Not
him
!! Please, I beg you on my knees.
