I'm afraid I lost interest in this one and had to DNF it. However I read 75% of it and I can say the beginning was th weak part. Nothing really happens until about 50% into the book and by then, the story had lost so much of its initial spark that I realized I had to drop it or I'd just end up with a headache. That said, it may just be that it wasn't my moment and I shouldn't have let so much time pass between reading sessions.
Or... that instead of being badass, Ari is a whinny mess that won't shut up about how her life sucks. (It does.) I was so happy that at least Isla could call on her shit. It wasn't well received, as was expected, but even though over-the-top, it was necessary. Ari needed to get herself together and do stuff.
The highlight of this book would be the underlying plot of the engineered babies issue. That looks promising!
If you thought the first book was like the Hunger Games, then this one is his twin. I'm being serious. It might be enjoyable for the right people. Unfortunately, it wasn't entirely for me. I really do hope it finds its home with someone else, because even though I didn't finish it I see a lot going on with this series in the future.
