My Review:
4/5 ⭐️
A really great followup to Warcross! I still get Code Geass vibes but not as much with this one as the first. I did NOT see the Zero twist coming though this book did fall into the ‘dystopian ya’ trope of ‘the villain isn’t the villain but someone close to them is’. Which is why I knocked it down a star. However, because this was a duology instead of a trilogy it didn’t lull like other books do in this genre!
A Bookish Dream 
I need to read these books 👏🏼
