What if he turns you into a vampire?”
His eyes widened. “Oh, hell, you think I’m going to let him bite me? No way. It’s too risky and way too gay.”

The amount of random casual homophobia is staggering.

I have no idea why Nadya keeps going after a guy thay quite literally acts against her best interests and even kills people close to her (and her).

I'm going to start bleeding out of my eyes over this prose

I'm trying to figure out why we even have serefin's viewpoint in this book

Bozidarka? Excuse me, why are we mixing all the Slavic names we can find?

Bozidarka? Excuse me, why are we mixing all the Slavic names when can find?

She looked over her shoulder, expression fracturing. - what in the name of English....?

Anna glanced at her, sympathy in her long, dark eyes. - this is not how words work. Long eyes?

Because he had looked at her with an expression that could only be described as longing, he had kissed her forehead, and he had died so she could escape. - um, no...Kostya did kinda pointlessly

I'm really tired of Eliana, of her winny hero stance, and even of her chapters. Rielle is absolutely underapreciated.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea which dead guy I want to end up with Safi.😄

My man Ian knows how to describe this whole romance plot

“It’s like a soap opera.” Ian nods. “But with worse acting.”

“Who? Kenji?”
Another nod.
“Oh,” I say, blinking in surprise. “He’s my best friend.”

Jul, girl.... he's not even your friend. Get a grip.

“You’re giving up.” I hear the accusation in my voice and I do nothing to hide it. “You’re just giving up.”

Juliette does not grasp that Adam does not need to save the world, he has a little brother to think about and parent. Juliette is all like NO ADAM WE HAVE TO BE YA MAIN CHARACTERS NO BORING STORYLINE FOR US

It’s bad,” he says to me. “He’s been hit worse than the rest of us. And Castle taking it all so hard has really affected Kenji.”

Castle is catatonic because he lead all the KIDS and TEENS he pseudo parentes into death bc he attacked a militarized governing body without a single plan in place. Methinks Castle's character didn't need to survive.

The Reestablishment,” Warner says, “is not interested in maintaining a facade of kindness. The civilians are nothing more than peons to them. They want power,” he says to me, “and they want to be entertained."

The problem here is the idea that a handful of leaders and some muscle can hold THE WHOLE WORLD without facing a revolution.

So how are people shelving these books as NOT insta love? Maybe it's not reciprocated insta love, but I don't actually know why Warner wants Juliette. Due to this he gives off major obsessive serial killer vibes. Juliette on the other hand switches her insta love interests like socks and has the personality of used cling film.

“Maybe I just d-don’t want to be with you.”
“I know you want to be with me!” he explodes.
“You’re wrong.”

Juliette is playing mind games, but the Warner thing is giving me weird controlley vibes

Castle is really just a one dimensional devil person masquerading as a benevolent positive character.

“We can discuss your public and wildly inappropriate displays of affection at a later time, Ms. Ferrars, but right now I have a very important question to ask you and I would advise you to be honest, as acutely honest as is physically possible.”
Castle, the worst man to ever be in charge of teenagers and young people. Shaming the girl for a "wildly inappropriate display", when she literally only talked to her partner

Reestablished Nations of the World. Everything’s gone global, you know. They all trade commodities. And that,” he says, “is something no one really knows. It’s another reason why the whole Reestablishment thing is a pile of crap. They’ve monopolized the resources of the entire planet and they’re just keeping it all for themselves.”

So basically, the dystopia is global communism 😅😆

“All you do is sit around and think about your feelings. You’ve got problems. Boo-freaking-hoo,” he says. “Your parents hate you and it’s so hard but you have to wear gloves for the rest of your life because you kill people when you touch them. Who gives a shit?” He’s breathing hard enough for me to hear him.

Yup, she's not allowed to feel down, yet your problems need to be relevant for everyone.

I do not at all appreciate the amount of gaslighting Juliette receives at the hands of the so called good-guys.

“AIs can’t be any smarter than the people who create them. We can code in all the crazy math and theories we want, but we can’t make an AI do things that we don’t understand ourselves."

AIs can predict much more than the human mind can understand or code into via machine learning. I feel like the author could have read something about technology, if she is using it to write about a sifi future.

''Asshole,” Ronan said.

Adam smiled cheerily. Ronan would start wars and burn cities for that true smile, elastic and amiable.

The problem with this is that 20 pages ago, none of that attraction and desire was even hinted upon. And we've been in Ronan's mind for a while now. I wish I got to fall in love with Adam alongside Ronan, as Adam isn't a really sympathetic character. I wish this was not so rushed.

Because I didn't read any reviews, I was pretty much slapped in the face qith Adam being Ronan's love interest. The problem with that is... exactly that. Zero build up, and suddenly in two pages Ronan is daydreaming about licking fingers and Adam just being there all aware. It was disappointing. I feel like these characters assuredly deserved better.

This book is so far gone, it's not even shocking anymore 👀

Star Wars stuff!

No...add... A terrible AI threat!!

No...wait...GODS!!!



'scuse me, kind author...say what?

This book is careening in all kinds of directions. >.>
