y'all this book was a Ride

- this book takes place right after the ending of the first book, so its very easy to get back into
- it definitely didn't take the turn i was expecting it to take (view spoiler)
- zero's character was fantastic, it was probably one of the best qualities of the book. the way his character arc-ed was so interesting
- i think a lot of people didnt enjoy the book for this reason but we dont get to see much (or any, really) of the game of warcross, its a lot more of the inner-working of the algorithm and experimentation and progressions in medicine and technology
- which isnt a BAD thing, i enjoyed a lot of the discussions on the ethics of what was happening
- but i do wish we got to see a bit more of the game
- AND THE CREW. OH GOSH I LOVE THE CREW WITH EVERYTHING I AM
- they definitely were the cherry on the cake bc they were pure and loveable and every precious in the world
- the plot twists my man
- got me shook like 14 times
- that is to say, its definitely darker than book 1
- am i a sucker for tragic backstories related to family??? why yes, i am
- i still ship hideo and emi like ???? dont ask me why, i cant answer myself
- my interest dwindled a few times, i feel like we got too caught up in the intricacies of the algorithm and im not a science nerd so it kinda just flew over my head :))
- and like really i was just here for the forbidden romance and tragic backstories and babies who need wrapping in warm blankets that came right out of the dryer
- emika is still my queen, lets establish that
- to conclude: a solid 👌


buddy read with hayati, my life, & mein Leben

Yusra  ✨ love how all the reviews are like “i don’t remember emika being so bland� and i’m in the back smiling smugly because i called it in book 1 :))) but hope you enjoy 🤪

hoW DARE YOU BRING YOUR NEGATIVITY INTO MY HOUSE IN FRONT OF MY KIDS

this is making me genuinely worried bc how POSSIBLY BAD COULD THIS BOOK BE TO RUIN THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORY OF BOOK 1

Kaylin (The Re-Read Queen) Ooooh! I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. The ending of the first book was bananas and I’m excited to see where it all goes 👀👀
(Also this review is great but I read that last line as “babies who need wrapping when they come out of the dryer� and I was REAL confused)

girl, ME
i feel like maybe people were expecting the book to go a whole different way and so they were disappointed when this came
but going in with low expectations helped lol
