Bis die Machthaber einer fast zerstörten Welt sich ihrer als Waffe bedienen möchten. Doch Juliette beschließt zu kämpfen – gegen die, die sie gefangen halten, gegen sich selbst, das Dunkel in ihr.

For me, the book was a bit too boring. The first part was very hard to get into but I think especially due to that reason very interesting to read. After that, it was easier to read but also way more boring and I felt like not enough happened, but the things that did happen were therefore rushed. However I did not mind that too much as it was still entertaining and it set up the next book well.
Now, the characters. Juliette seems really really well developed but the other, at least for me, are not. Warner seems like an interesting character, who is partly developed. But I don't see anything like that with Adam and that makes me sad, because I only partly care for him, because Juliette does and for me that is not enough. I hope this gets better in the later books.
The writing style seemed really unique to me and I enjoyed it a lot. Even though it took me a bit to get used to it but that's nothing bad.
