This 100% deserves the hype. This is exactly the dystopian read that I wanted. I may have to read the second book in the series right away instead of the other book I had planned

The book started strong. We're introduced to a dystopian tech-advanced world, a beautiful, dangerous woman and a morally grey, witty man. What more could you need? I was sure hooked. Sadly, the more I read, the more the execution of the story fell flat, or rather veered in a completely different direction then what I had hoped for.

This book really took a turn from what I was expecting it to be. Really confused about the ravens and whatever weirdness happened with Mae and some old family? member.

This is a re-read for me and this book is just as great as I remember it from 10 years ago. Needed a refresher before picking up books 3 and 4 of the series and I'm so happy I decided to start from the start again.

Really good so far, but definitely one of those books that's heavy to read and needs breaks

I thought I had this book pegged from the first chapter, but I've been delighted to be surprised so far.

I still don't understand the hype around this book... And I've given it an honest try. The plot goes out the window half way through the novel, the characters are dull and unimaginative, and the string of decisions made by these characters are illogical, bizarre and unconvincing.... The completest in me wants to try to get through book 2 to see if it gets better, but I'm likely just delaying the inevitable.

Trying this series again. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I finished the first book I don't remember what happened and needed to start from the beginning of the series again. Let's see if I can make it to book two.
