4.25/5. This book started off a bit slow for me, as Warcross was jam packed with action and that's what I was expecting from Wildcard. Most of the action, however, came at the end. Although the climax is supposed to be this big showdown with tons of action, I felt there should have been more of that sprinkled throughout the novel. Despite that, I LOVED finding out the true past of Zero (not gonna spoil anything here) and how the plot wrapped up with Emika at the end. A solid read, but I'm hoping book 3(?) gives us a little more of that oomph I wanted.
