Just amazing! Like what a great read. Ugh, I really loved Mariana and Tristan. I wish the rest of the books followed them as well, but I am excited to read about Dante and Amara. 

Something that irked me was how they talked about "the codes." My husband and I both write code for our jobs (software engineer & data analyst), and I've genuinely never heard of someone talking about a really important computer program as "the codes." It just seemed to downplay the significance of it, but that might just be a me thing. Also, the fact that she really didn't spend that much time writing code felt odd because it just wasn't realistic. You can't just sit for a couple of hours and poof there's a super cool computer program
to take down the highest governments, mafias, etc.
. Not even for a person with a really high IQ. It just felt unreasonable. But otherwise, what a great book!

Also, the ending was really fast. It felt rushed. I could have used a couple more chapters at the end, but again, what a great book.

The slow unfurling of the mysteries and the slow unfurling of the relationships are well done despite some very dark background context.

You're the girl I killed for and you're the woman I'd die for. 

I didn't like it as much (but I didn't   expect it anyway) as the previous book. Whereas in the previous one I felt a kind of spark, here now I felt that everything was gone. 

Morana seemed to have relapsed, not very, but meaningful enough for me to feel. She remained strong and persistent, but something changed about her that I can't put anywhere inside myself and don't want to. I couldn't leave Tristan like that any more, everything I feared had happened inside him, he had become the kind of person I was unable to identify with in any way. Dante is the tip of my heart, I just loved him so much that I almost regret not wanting to continue this book—at least not now. 

The love I praised so high was transformed, in my own way, into something different that I'm not sure if I like. Possesive, overprotective, and forced became the whole thing, which I don't like. 

This time, the plot was more fast-paced than the previous one, and a lot more secrets are revealed — ones that cannot be ignored. In short, everything was shattered by this book, but in the best sense of the word, we got new connections to the past and a new perspective, and all I'm sure is that this isn't the end, far from it, Luna deserves to know that her brother fought so hard for her. The pace was a bit slower for me than it should have been, but the time jumps weren't distracting at all. The end is open, but not so urgent. 

I'd say all in all, one went away, it wasn't outstanding, it wasn't burn-shaking, maybe a little shocking, but none of it was strong enough to necessarily jump to the next book.

This time Morana and Tristan made more sense and they fit together better. Plus everything wasn't so repetitive.
