This third book surprised me. The beginning felt slow and dragged a bit, but it really picked up around the 50% mark, especially in the last 100 pages. One thing I loved about this book, and the series overall, is how well the characters are developed, they’re all flawed, but you can truly understand where those flaws come from. The plot wasn’t very unpredictable, and I found it easier to guess what would happen as it went on. However, I really liked the ending; it answered a lot of questions from the trilogy while still being slightly open-ended. It felt satisfying and gave enough closure to understand where she stands and what her future looks like. Overall, it was a solid book and a great conclusion to the series.

This book was so cute. I liked both characters and thought they were well fleshed out. The plot progressed naturally without feeling rushed despite its shorter length. I also loved the added side plot involving their grandparents. Overall, it was a really sweet and enjoyable read.

I thought this book was so cute. I loved the narration style, it felt like I was watching everything unfold in real time rather than hearing a recollection of events. I also really enjoyed the plot and thought it was interesting and well executed. The narrators did an amazing job conveying the characters’ emotions purely through dialogue, which made everything feel very natural and immersive. I’ll definitely be listening to more from both the narrators and the author.

This was a really cute book. I enjoyed the romance and thought the plot was solid. I loved the idea of Hispanic witches — it added a unique and refreshing element to the story. Overall, it was a cozy, comforting read that I really needed after back-to-back dystopian novels.

I never really knew where this book was going, which kept it interesting. I loved the format, especially being in the present while piecing together the past through small clues and hints. Both characters felt intentionally unlikable, and there were definitely moments where I wasn’t rooting for either of them. It did start to lose me around the 50–60% mark when some major reveals felt a bit unrealistic. That said, I liked the ending and appreciated that it was left open-ended.

I was really nervous going into this book since sequels can be disappointing, but it ended up being even better than the first one. I loved that we followed Cia in the “regular world” at university while still getting the rebellion aspect. It kept all the elements I liked from the first book and just built on them in a way that made me enjoy it even more. I also liked the added complexity of Cia navigating everything while trying to recover her memories of the Testing. I didn’t expect the plot twist at all, and it genuinely shocked me. Overall, I thought it was great and I’m really excited to see how everything wraps up in the final book.

This book surprised me. I was a little hesitant to start it because I don’t usually enjoy YA as much anymore, since it can sometimes feel a bit cringey, but this one had just the right amount and I honestly ate it up. I loved the characters and how the story developed, though I was surprised by how gory some parts were since I wasn’t expecting that from this book. Some of the major plot points were predictable for me, but it didn’t ruin the experience. The author does guide the reader a lot, which was nice for confirming theories, though at times it felt close to being a little too obvious. It gave me vibes of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner, but it still had its own personality. I also wish there had been a bit more romance since it clearly motivates a lot of the main character’s decisions. Overall, I enjoyed it way more than I expected and I’m excited to see how the next book develops.

I absolutely loved this book. I was a little nervous going into the genre because science fiction can get complicated really quickly, but this story explained everything well and made the science easy to follow. I loved the characters and the way the story developed, especially with the two timelines unfolding at the same time. I also liked that the main character had no memory for most of the book, which made discovering everything alongside him really fun. It balanced being entertaining and high stakes while still feeling light and enjoyable. Ultimately, this will definitely be one of my favorites.
