This Vicious Cure

Emily Suvada2020
Cat is desperate to find a way to stop Cartaxus and the plague in this gripping finale to a series New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman says “redefines ‘unputdownable!’” Cat’s hacking skills weren’t enough to keep her from losing everything—her identity, her past, and now her freedom. She’s trapped and alone, but she’s survived this long, and she’s not giving up without a fight. Though the outbreak has been contained, a new threat has emerged—one that’s taken the world to the brink of a devastating war. With genetic technology that promises not just a cure for the plague, but a way to prevent death itself, both sides will stop at nothing to seize control of humanity’s future. Facing her smartest, most devastating enemy yet, Cat must race against the clock to protect her friends and save the lives of millions on the planet’s surface. No matter the outcome, humanity will never be the same. And this time, Cat can’t afford to let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.

i was in absolute fear the whole way through this book it was. It was a trip, to say the least. It's good (honestly im thinking through this insanity and it had a lot that probably could've been better but also like based on my first reaction im giving this 5 stars)

Listen, it's so ambitious and I feel like I should love it because there are so many new things going on with the characters and I love a gray hero (maybe?) and a dozen good twists, but idk. Something felt off or rushed or disingenuous. And don't even get me started on the ending.

I LOVE this series. The world building is amazing. Even though it's pretty science-heavy, I think I pretty much understood what was going on. I loved the way the duel chapters worked in this one. But... only 4 stars because (view spoiler)[ I WANTED MORE CAT AND COLE!! I know this isn't a romance book but we didn't even really get to see them come back together. I wanted more of their relationship. But this book is still amazing without this... I'm just a sap and felt like it was missing a little... something. (hide spoiler)] Read this series. Please. I'm so sad it's over!!

Review: Overall I thought this was a good book but I don't feel connected to the book at the moment. I think it's one of those best suited read back to back with the rest of the series so I'll try again in the future. Verdict: Not for me at the moment.

While I enjoyed this trilogy overall I felt book 3 had a few pacing issues and felt a little overly complicated at times. The ending underwhelmed me slightly but I did still enjoy Cat, her character remained my favourite throughout.
