Wowie. 
This was a way better executed and altered version of Shatter Me. Obsessed. I loved this one - the only thing I could have done without was some more specifically described torture type scenes. 
Characters were great, development of those characters and how especially the main character, figured things out as we went was amazing. 
Loved the power element, always fun. Can’t wait to see it a bit more in action in the second book. 
Plot wise it was great. Similarities like I said above to Shatter Me, but with a much better execution. Enough differences to be it’s own story, and taking place in Sydney (nice touch), different dynamics and way less characters to keep track of. All that and more made this an action packed, easy to follow, quick to pace through and thoroughly enjoyable story.

Really enjoyable YA read reminiscent of 2010s dystopian novels!

Goddamn it’s good. There are times when I found the writing a little irritating, but the story is intense and inventive. I glossed over quite a bit of the narrative because most of it seemed unnecessary for the development of the story, but overall it’s a very enjoyable read.
