Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"I love how you still think if you tell me to do something, I'll just check my brain at the door and do it."</i></b></blockquote> I've loved my previous experience with C.J Redwine's writing, and it doesn't disappoint again. I like how fluid and intense her writing is, how she's unafraid of hurting the MCs and impacting the reader. The dystopic world she created here is interesting, but I think it has some holes in it that I hope will be better explained in the next installments because I felt during the whole novel that I was missing something and there were some confusing bits. I enjoyed how she went off the road I thought she would take, but that being said there weren't many surprises or shocking plot twists that blew me away - every 'surprise' was pretty predictable and the main characters should've seen them coming as well. I like our main characters, especially Logan - he's rational, smart, inventive and an overall just guy and a good leader, though I want to see him grown into this role more in the next novels. Rachel is very strong-willed, smart and capable, but sometimes her naivete, her inexperience, and impulsiveness got on my nerves a bit. The chemistry between them was good and I like their dynamic together, mainly because how complimentary they are of each other and how they balance each other out, but the romantic aspect was obvious and at times unnecessary - it took a bit from the main plot. Still, it was an enjoyable read and I'm curious to see where the story is going and what will happen with these characters.
