Does a Mary Sue cancel out a Gary Sue?  This book was so boring to me, both the main characters are perfect, they have no flaws, the world building is meh.  I just wish either character had a single negative flaw.  Mindless listening on my commute but I won't be reading any more.  The funniest part is the author making Drake University the top school in the nation.

I absolutely loved this book! It kinda caught me off guard in a really good way and it was a suprising romance novel. There were so many things that I just wasn’t expecting. I love the characters and how they are developed throughout the book as well!

I have no idea why this has 4 stars on Goodreads. It would be a stretch for me to give it 2.5. Poor characterization, predictable plot. Male character reads like a girl. The only real plus is well-written action scenes.

I liked the characters decently and loved the idea for the plot, but the writing is pretty bad. For example, I understand that June and Day are supposed to be smart, but it gets to a point where it's annoying how  quickly they solve things. There are also some parts where it's super analytical and boring (not a direct quote, just an example of a similar scene: "We were moving at x feet per second. We needed to travel x feet. But the 23 soldiers were moving faster than us, and they'd catch up to us at x feet.")

Holy Hell!!! I loved this book! So freaking good. Its ridiculous. June and Day...Ugh.. I love them. Thomas....I just wish I could stab him most of the time. Haha. I'm sad that I'm sitting at work without the other book in front of me. Now I will have to wait till tonight to continue.

I'm coming to realize that I'm not very good at reviews....I just gush about how much I love or hate it and thats the end...sorry. :) Thats really all anyone needs to know though...

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the others. I like the multiple point of veiws and the way the story was written. Plus I absolutely Love Day and June together but I think we are going to get some side love interests for the 2 of them
Spoiler I think it will be Kaede or Tess for Day and the Electors son for June. Also I really hate Thomas.
Other then that I really loved the book.
