Reviews for books I enjoyed are always the hardest to write...and I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books. The world building was amazing and I freaking LOVED Delaney's character. She was snark personified. She could have just given up and let the aliens walk all over her, but she didn't. I'm picky about what YA books I will let my daughter (she's 12) read because she identifies so strongly with the female protagonist, and I would absolutely let her read both of these books. In fact, I would recommend these books to just about everyone I know.
I will give one warning: there is a love triangle. It gives me major Warner/Adam/Juliette vibes (from the Shatter Me trilogy, if you don't know who I'm talking about). At first I was 100% Team Ruckus but the more I read, I found myself starting to convert to Team Trystan. I'm still not sure who I love more, but I will admit there is a large part of me that just wants to hug Trystan.
I've found a new author to add to my list of "Read Everything This Author Has Ever Written." The month of December is usually my month of rereads, so these 2 books will definitely be on that list. And now I'm off to buy print copies of these books because I need these on my shelf!
