It took me until I was halfway done the book to be into it. I like how Lyra is a good liar, it's fun to read how she gets out of situations by lying! I also like how Lyra is a young kid, I usually read books about teens.

It was really exciting in the beginning, but it dragged a little after that. The fight scenes were cool, very fast paced.

It was very funny! I liked the part where Emperor got pantsed.

It's fun to watch Komi get better - slowly - at communicating.

This book is extremely dark. I picked it up because of the pretty cover and Japanese setting, but it's mostly depressing. I liked the Zen elements though, since I'm interested in meditation. I skipped the chapters of Ruth's perspective a few times, they weren't as interesting as Nao's.

I enjoyed it for the most part. The chapters were ordered a little strangely to me, since one was about his experience with drugs

I love seeing how Ryland solves problems with science! And even though he's alone in space, we get to see how things on Earth are through his memories slowly coming back to him.

The chapters were summed up by their titles, and they got long. It did help me understand trans people a little better.

It makes me laugh, because I'm socially anxious too.

Carmen's perspective was more boring than Dani's, and that was the entire book. This book had more action than the first, but the villain was stupid. It dragged on for too long at the beginning, her decision to save her girlfriend or stay with her family. Obviously save your girlfriend! Which would make for a better book!? I still liked the book, but wouldn't recommend it.
