There were parts of this hook I found exiting and the overall concept was mostly interesting and relatively unique.
My biggest problems with this book however was how predictable it was and how how confusing it was. I found myself guessing the plot twists very early on. There were parts that were so confusing to me as well. Adrian’s powers were never really explained and I still don’t understand what he can do. I understand they mentioned that they don’t know why he has the power to heal but they never explained how his mind reading worked so we have no idea what he knows. I also found that while we do get some insight into his background and why he does what he does, I still feel like I don’t know him. I feel more connected to Ana who had half as much airtime than I do Adrian which is a serious problem for me. I was also confused at the end
Overall, I enjoyed this book and will happily read the sequel, however I’m a little annoyed that I have to read the sequel just to stop feeling confused.
