 First line: "It's too damn cold of a day to be out on a hunt." 
 This. Was. Great. I knew that I had to love if after literally everyone was raving about it. Marie Lu also wrote The Young Elites trilogy, which I really enjoyed. 
 I immediately took a liking to Emika. Her rainbow hair, sass, and tech-savvy ways kept me constantly engaged, and with a compelling plot, I couldn't put this down. All I'm going to say about Hideo is oh my god. The other characters filled out the story nicely and with more than a few surprises. Things left off in a very unpredictable place and I can only assume the sequel is going to be as much of a roller coaster. Lu is brilliant at writing ambiguous characters. I thought I had guessed one thing - but surprise! - things are never as they seem. 
 The tech and world terminology threw me off sometimes but I think it might just be me, because it just shows how complex Lu can create her new worlds. 
 I'm already dying for the sequel and this one isn't even out yettttt.
