DNF @ 24%

I don't like the main character, Juliette. At all. She's so whiny, and the audiobook version doesn't help with that aspect. I've read that it gets better at 50% and I was trying to power through but I think I'll take a break from this for awhile. There needs to be a lot more Kenji and a lot less Juliette!

Incredible second book. I flew through this. Even better than the first one. The ending! Ugh, I NEED to know what happens!
I loved learning more about Kenji, Warner, and Adam. It was great to see how their pasts made them who they are, especially Warner. And finally learning his name!
And so many plot twists. Soooo many.
I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone. I can not wait to read the third book. ( )

How can I be so invested and yet not care about the main characters at all? The second I think I’m on common ground with them or applauding the character development, something gets thrown out of wholly left field, and I have to rebuild again…and, oh. This is what living, and moving past trauma feels like. I hate this book for being so annoying and yet gripping all at the same time.
I still don’t like how I can get deep, poetic monologues and then a bunch of grammatically nonsensical sentences to make me feel like I’m going insane with the character. It doesn’t need to try that hard. Then, there is the lesson almost every dystopian fantasy story has been screaming for years: Never get involved with brothers. ( )

Stronger than the first book, definitely. Still annoyed me frequently, but the characters were both more and less enjoyable at the same time. Juliette has grown a pair, which is the best development so far in terms of my enjoyment, although she still has weak moments. I’m guessing that’ll change by the end?

Plot significantly improved from book no.1, which is how I’m justifying the 4 star rating. I was actually interested in what Juliette was doing this time!

More of a 3.5 than a 4, but GR doesn’t allow 0.5 star increments so… ( )

Ya casi ha llegado la hora de la guerra.Juliette ha escapado hasta el Punto Omega.
Es un lugar para gente como ella –para personas que tienen dones–, y también es el cuartel general de la resistencia rebelde.
Por fin es libre de El Restablecimiento, libre de su plan para usarla como arma, y libre para amar a Adam.
Pero Juliette nunca se librará de su tacto letal. O de Warner, que quiere a Juliette más de lo que ella jamás imaginó. Perseguida por su pasado y aterrada por su futuro, Juliette sabe que, en el presente, deberá tomar algunas decisiones que pueden cambiarle la vida. Decisiones que quizás impliquen escoger entre su corazón… y la vida de Adam.
Nuestros labios se tocan y sé que me voy a romper por las costuras.
Me besa como si me hubiese perdido y encontrado y me estuviera escapando y nunca me fuese a soltar. A veces quiero gritar, a veces quiero derrumbarme, quiero morir sabiendo que he conocido cómo era vivir en este beso, en este corazón, en esta suavísima explosión que me hace sentir como si me hubiera bebido un sorbo de sol, como si me hubiera zampado 8, 9 y 10 nubes.
Esto me duele por todas partes. ( )
