 “Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.”

Uhm... this book feels very insta-lovey, I mean the whole series does to be honest. There were a few twists that I wasn't expecting though, which was nice. I just feel like not much was going on in this book? I mean I think it was more about setting up Warner and Juliette and Adam. Kenji is still the best character though.

I want to love the idea of this series but find the characters just impossible. Juliette spends all her time describing everything in this abstract poetry but it’s always things happening to or around her. She so rarely does anything and when she does, it’s usually cry. Adam got even more frustrating in this book, but I did enjoy more of Kenji. Not sure I’m going to put more time into this series.

I really liked it actually.
I kind of understand the Aaron Warner hype train but not fully.
Like the whole

"I tortured people and I cannot change any of my actions in the future"

became tiring real quick for me.
I appreciate Kenji a lot, he has put some sense into Juliette as she was being a bit egocentrical for a hot minute.
I will gladly read the sequel, but not now lol.

this was so amazing. tahereh’s writing is poetic but not hard to read. i want to highlight half of the words. will definitely be going back one day to annotate this. i knew i was in for a rollercoaster when i was crying less than 100 pages in. emotional wreckage.
