Sooo many secrets, soo many lies…..and soo many questions
Overall this was a very solid sequel and really helped move the story along - I wonder how it’ll end and if all the questions I do have that have been posed by the book will be answered.
Questions like: what really happened to Celeste and was it a plan all along?
- Who got rid of the architect and why?
- Why did only some of the aces have their memory wiped (Johan & Master Thakur)
- Why does Sebastian keeping making deals with Gia?!?!
- What happened to Sebastian when he attempted to go live in a Marvelian city?
- And honestly who is behind all of this forreal foreal?
If you have young adults, that are the intended age range, I believe that this book will be good in helping them see how prejudice can be cruel and unfair - since this book really mirrors what happened when black kids integrated white schools. I think it’ll also teach them how to be brave or the importance of doing the right thing even when others aren’t or when it might not feel too good to not do what others are doing, even when you really want to fit in.
All in all it’s a good book & I highly recommend it. But I think for me personally (as an adult lol) I’m okay on reading the 3rd book and not anything on this book, I just don’t want to be upset at kids being kids lol if that makes any sense - this book is definitely wonderful for its intended audience- I just sometimes don’t have the patience at times for childishness (which they rightfully are lol so it’s more of a me thing than anything).
But once again this book was really nice. Gia really needs to get a grip on herself bc she’s beefing with 12 year olds 😫 like ma’am get a grip PLS !!!
