I didn't like this one as much as the first book. The addiction started fading lmao. The paranoia and the shit Jude does is written very well. The ending was meh tbh it wasn't the direction i saw the book going in and i dont feel excited to find out anymore. I am kind of confused about how they made other people like Jamie to be 'special' like Mara and Noah. It kind of feels like they're broadening the storyline too much by including all the characters almost into the "special abilities" category out of the blue. I truly don't know how to review it honestly. The writing is pretty consistently good, although this was more lengthy than it needed to be. It doesn't make me want to jump to the sequel but it's an okay read.
