So hard to get through compared to the first book and definitely compared to powerless

Sigh I will still finish the trilogy when fearless comes out

This was a 3.5 for me rounded up to 4 because goodreads does do half. I felt like the book was repetitive and very filler. I wasn’t the hugest fan of the constant cat and mouse that was happening. Important details were found out, but that was very little of the story and it felt barely addressed during the book as well. The ending was very fun and the cliffhanger?? I thought it was well done. I feel as though there could’ve been more for this book and am disappointed in that aspect. The banter was very cute tho!

Okay I read (as I was in a queue to take it out from library) this hoping the writing would improve from book 1... Gosh the pacing was off, I ended up skimming some of it because the repeat of the whole 'i loathe you, do you really'. I only got into it the last 25% of the book and I realize why I got through the audiobook of powerless easier than reading reckless because the narrators made it more interesting XD

I feel the random couple of pages from kitt's pov weren't really helpful for character development and none of it added to understanding the ending...which i get is probably a cliffhanger. 

I'll probably listen to fearless eventually just to finish the storyline but no particular rush on it which is unfortunate because I wanted to like it!

Writing this review at 1am because I have THOUGHTS

1) sorry what was that pacing……. like the pace of that felt like being on a rollercoaster that got stuck halfway thru and just as you think it’s about to end, that thing plummets

2) felt like there was NO world building or anything like that? plot points and inner monologue felt very repetitive

3) the only chapters I actually ate up was the poppy scene but even then Lauren you coulda jazzed up the dialogue

4) also if you’re giving me a map and a whole family tree, I better be travelling the continent and meeting the family so tell me why we only did light sightseeing???

5) that ending???? make it make sense

I’m convinced this book and the first was an absolute right time, right mood for me. There is objectively nothing amazing about it but boy did I have fun and was really attached to these characters by the end.
