I read this book in practically one sitting, apart from the first few chapters the day before. I just kept reading, not realizing as the hours slipped by. The book just kept me engaged the whole way through, it was just great.
I really like the plot of this book because I felt it was quite unique, while still sticking to the futuristic theme of virtual reality being integrated with every part of life. The mystery was interesting and evolved well, keeping me interested. The characters were very likable and the main character, Emika, was realistic with how she reacted with the obstacles in her life and in the story. The relationships between the characters all worked well.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the mood for something that's adventurous, emotional, tense and mysterious. The book has a bold female main character just trying to survive and great plot twists sprinkled throughout it. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series and I'm planning to read some of Marie Lu’s other books because I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
