What an excellent wrap up to this series! While at times predictable there were still some great twists and turns. Finally having book 1 and book 2 fully collide character wise was excellent, it was so well done to fit everything together storytelling wise.
Overall this is an excellent sci-fi/dystopian story, it really made me think but I still felt like I didn’t fully understand the “villains” overall reasoning by the end. But maybe I’m just dumb or the audiobook had me zoning out at times. It could get a bit fussy and dense, but the characters were well thought out and both Solo and Juliette were such well done character arcs!
I think this is a great series for those who love shows/stories such as The 100, The Scythe Series, or really anything that combines political power trips and dystopian outcomes!
