I haven't read one of Marie Lu's books in a while, but now I'm really wondering why! The writing really flows even in such a short except and I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the book. The beginning cuts straight to the chase with Talin losing someone close to her to the Ghosts, humanoid monsters sent by the Karensa Empire. I absolutely loved both Talin and her Shield, both characters were very well fleshed out and intriguing.
I definitely see a LOT of influence from Attack on Titan, and I think that would be glaringly obvious to anyone who has ever watched the anime or read the manga. While this isn't a bad thing, it was definitely a little jarring since it wasn't marketed as such and was an unexpected surprise.
