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.
