I got into this series after finishing Kingdom of Ash and surprisingly found myself loving the characters so much after book 2 kicked off. It's YA but the book's ending gets pretty dark which really took me by surprise - absolutely wasn't expecting that. The scenes were well paced, really enjoyed the action in this one. Overall, I enjoyed Cinder a lot but this one took on a lot more drama & character development/depth. Already in love with the series and it's characters (I mean, the girls!!! And the boys too- all pretty well written, not clones of each other, not too cringey... The relationships being that fast to get emotional can be put on their age plus the stress they're in)

Not really for sensitive kids under 12 I'd say, my sister's read it at 10, I think, and was a little scared back then - still loves the book thoughcammiem8's review against another edition

Not quite as exciting as its predecessor, but still holds up as a decent YA scifi, though the red riding hood connection is a little more forced than the other adaptations in the series.

there was a lot of dubious stuff in this one tbh, but the Rampion crew dynamic is really fun I wish there was more of that

I love the storyline of this series so much, but i find the two female leads are written with very similar personalities. I think they could have a lot more depth to add more to the story. Still, I’m quite excited for the next book in the series!
