this whole book got me worried abt newt & minho all the time oml. a very great read, forced me to imagine all the scenarios they were in (which was hard sometimes as a non-english speaker). although i still did  luv the world-building on this one! it’s a great sequel to the first book & opened the world into more dangerous paths than they were in before (from being trapped in a box to exploring the outside desolate unknown). still can’t believe how cruel W.I.C.K.E.D. is to a bunch of teenagers & using them as the cure to justify their bloody crimes like how much more do u want them to suffer just to get ur results …. can’t wait to get my hands on the third book <3

This is personally, my least favorite out of the main series, but definitely worth while. I heard if you watch the movies before you read the books it’s more challenging to get through. I didn’t watch the movies before the books, and I absolutely loved it! Would recommend.

There is gore. If you don’t like to read those kind of topics I’d not recommend.

The plot thickens, there’s are so many questions and some get answered but it’s still very mysterious. I am invested in the characters now and I really hope

Thomas and Teresa sort stuff out

It's a fine read - not the best thing I've ever read but I am interested in where the story goes after this point. The last book will really determine whether I like the series or not because the Trials have been quite convoluted for the characters so far and if there's a stupid reason behind why I'm going to be disappointed.

I don’t know how I finished this book. I rolled my eyes way too often and I wanted to throw this book into a wall many times. I absolutely hate Thomas. Very few of the other characters have a real personality and it just made me not care when something happened to them. The writing is just as bad as in the first book. I hate that we don’t get any real valuable information about the world. It’s all just surface level stuff.
