This book was mot amazing. But it was. because it wasn't. Am I making any sort of sense?

What I'm saying is, I DEFINITELY see why people love this book. The answer, of course, is Jonah Griggs. And Taylor. And Raffy. And Santangelo. And just ALL THE PEOPLES.

The characters were all so real and lovable. 

Also, the territory wars were REALLY cool. If there hadn't been something action-y like that, I would've have quit reading this ten pages in. 

As it is, I was VERY confused for about the whole first half of this book. I was confused about the Territory Wars, but I caught on. And I was SUPER confused about the alternating timeline perspectives, until Taylor told us that was Hannah's manuscript and then I was, "Oh, that makes sense."

Anyway, just all the feels.
And JONAH GRIGGS.
