I liked it a lot!

* Cool, scary tech. It was really interesting to imagine it being real.
* Nice, forbidden romance.
* A girl who kicks ass (but also kind of uses and manipulates people lol).

Maggie ("Mags" :D) was one of my favourite parts of the book. She was such a driven, but flawed character. Her determination was insanely admirable. In some ways I wish I was like her. I hope I would be like her and dedicate every fibre of my being to saving someone I loved.

But I like how her plan to save her dad wasn't clean or innocent. There were casualties. She had to blackmail people and screw them over along the way. So yes, she loved her dad so much that she'd do anything to bring him back, but she was also kind of an "ends justify the means" kind of girl. I liked that about her because it made her interesting and gave her something to really struggle with.

I sort of wish it was a standalone, but oh well. Hopefully it's only a duology and not a trilogy. As much as I really enjoyed the book, I don't think I enjoyed it enough to want to spend three books on it.

I'm definitely disappointed I don't have the second book though. I definitely could have moved onto book two immediately! This one was a quick read.
