These books are so visually stunning and I love being able to picture things like this by just reading words on a page (versus watching a movie/TV show…. I could picture myself in each setting and every action sequence was carefully detailed. It was an amazing team and each one really felt like a real person.Īnd of course, the world itself felt so incredibly real. I really loved each character and the attachments they formed, and it was really interesting to see how each relationship grew and changed throughout the series. Emika isn’t without help and relies upon her friends in many ways. The squad goals in this book were also great. We’re all so much more than just plain good and evil, so it added another realistic side to a largely sci-fi world. It makes for a much more interesting story than that black-and-white good vs evil feeling in so many other books, and I really feel like it more accurately portrays real human emotions. You can’t hate the person who betrays the heroes because they’re just not evil, and complex characters are so much more interesting than outright evil villains. Each character is so carefully crafted that they all have good and bad sides so there’s a constant shift in motive and feel. I absolutely loved the constant change for the feel of the villain.
I love that it was only two books, making it the perfect length to fit in exactly the right amount of action and not drag things on while still expanding into a second book to continue a story that couldn’t be wrapped up in one. Marie Lu did such an amazing job with this series, from characters to plot to twists to structure. But Emika soon learns that Zero isn't all that he seems-and his protection comes at a price.Ĭaught in a web of betrayal, with the future of free will at risk, just how far will Emika go to take down the man she loves? Someone's put a bounty on Emika's head, and her sole chance for survival lies with Zero and the Blackcoats, his ruthless crew. Now that she knows the truth behind Hideo's new NeuroLink algorithm, she can no longer trust the one person she's always looked up to, who she once thought was on her side.ĭetermined to put a stop to Hideo's grim plans, Emika and the Phoenix Riders band together, only to find a new threat lurking on the neon-lit streets of Tokyo.
