So dramatic, and I'm all here for it.

Pierce Brown is audacious for writing something this dramatic.

The stakes are making my butt pucker a bit

This book continues to remove any joy that I might have enjoyed for even a moment.

I CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THIS SERIES.

Book locked in and got interesting again. They had a scene where the ship broke down. Compared to other authors in a smilier situation it was kinda meh.

It got interesting again, I think the director lady is a really interesting character who introduces a good dynamic.

The fighting in this book is awesome, and I keep laughing out loud.

This book is going to make me really emotional. I can feel it.

Again, an interesting plot with characters who are uninteresting and kind of blend into each other. Hutch has short hair, Maggie is a genius, and maybe Asian. The guy from Maine died, and Hutch likes George. That kinda seems like the depth of these characters. If you're going to have such dull characters, let's not spend so much time on them.

This book will occasionally cut the tension by providing a heartwarming scene where love and friendship prevails. But I feel as if Brown is just pushing the knife in deeper before he starts twisting it.

Okay so this book does this thing where something will be significant to a character, but you don't know till later. Instead of an omniscient narrator, or being really in the head of one character you are kinda like a 3rd person who sometimes hears the thoughts of others.

I've been thinking about this book. I feel like it almost kind of reads like a movie. A cheesy 80's movie but that is kinda fun. While the concept is really interesting, the writing doesn't always give you a lot of room to guess on your own. And some of the writing seems more focused on characters and politics that aren't as interesting as the mystery to be solved.

Oh yeah now we're getting somewhere
