Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “You want to see people as extremes. Bad or good, trustworthy, or not. I understand. It's easier that way. But that isn't how people work.”</i></b></blockquote> I was surprised by this book. After the disappointment that was the ending of the Divergent trilogy, I wasn't excited to read more of Roth's work and so, when this came out, I had no plans on reading it. But I'm involved in a Buddy Read group and this was May's pick, so I said 'oh what the hell, I can always DNF if I'm not engaged'. And BOOM, I was hooked almost from the get-go. Despite all its mishaps, there was one thing that kept me reading Divergent until the very end: the writing. I forgot how fluid and quick Roth's writing is. Here she offers these spacial enemies-to-lovers with space politics and a fantastic elements thrown in to spice things up. The romance is well-written and well-paced, the novel is fast-paced without being rushed. And, oh joy, she actually manages to write a male POV that doesn't seem a version of the female POV! You can actually distinguish the characters (and not just because the male POV is in third person). The plot was a bit predictable, but she managed to make it interesting anyway and there were a few plot twists that managed to keep me interested in reading the final installment. I'm really happy that my experience with this was good because I went in expecting the worst and now I'm excited to pick up the sequel!
