I was a little nervous going into this book because I was not a fan of Marie Lu's previous book published this year. I was, however, a huge Legend fan and I loved Warcross, so I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out I ended up loving it! This was a classic YA dystopian that was not heavily focused on romance. I loved the characters, the world, the descriptions, everything! Talin was a fantastic main character and I thought it was really cool how she and her fellow strikers did sign language to communicate with each other. Talin's mom was also such a badass! I loved Red too and I found his Skyhunter abilities super interesting. I loved Talin and Red's bond! Jeran and Armin were fantastic and I would love to read more about them and their relationship. Adena was snarky and smart, and she knew about basically everything relating to science and weapons. Not the most realistic, but that's okay. I can't wait for the next installment of this book and to see what happens to everyone. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed Marie Lu's other dystopian books.
