This book is so messy The minute one character has revelation miles away from anyone else Everyone seems to be aware of what she discovered despite not knowing about it previously Characters with useful knowledge aren’t sharing and no one seems to bother to ask The book is less of a story with every piece coming together to make a big complete puzzle as much as it’s random scenes that have no correlation Also the flow of a scene and how normal humans interact just doesn’t happen The bad guys just stand and wait for someone to explain to eureka what’s going on before they try killing her The “romantic” scenes don’t feel organic at all everything feels staged like the author realizes that no ones expressed their love in awhile so here’s a 3 second moment Atlas : “cry” Eureka: “no you won’t trick me again” proceeded to pour her tears thus doing exactly what atlas wants For someone that falls out of the air a lot eureka somehow manages to not die or even break a bone How is it that getting from one place to another is so difficult until the plot requires an audience and than everyone seems capable including old people and children ( which btw what the heck was that scene with the little kid and the twins? how did that contribute to the story???) Eureka on a whim sabotages every plan that's made and it never end up well

2.25 This was... bad. Honestly, the rating might be a little generous. I did like the ending. It was super vague and not really a HEA and you don't see that often in YA so that was okay. The characters were awful. They were all whiney and bitchy and just kind of dumb. The plot was minimal at best. I mean it had an ending and the rest of it was just . . . there. I think one of the worst parts was that literally hundreds of thousands of people are dying and they're all just like "ooh well. How can we beat Atlas?" Let me ask you this... once everyone in their world is dead (which is what is happening) why does it matter if Atlas is in charge? The humans are already dead. I just don't get it. This was pretty meh all around and in some cases, it was just plain bad. I don't know if I'll read more Kate in the future. Cover 2; Characters 2; Plot 3; Pace 2; Writing 2; Enjoyment 2.
