This was a pretty average read for me. 
 I spent the majority of the time being super bored or wondering how any person could possible travel as much as these characters did. The entire book was traveling. Traveling here, traveling there, traveling everywhere. By the middle I was legit begging the book to give me something more. 
 Every once in a while they would stop their traveling and I'd get irrationally excited that stuff was going to actually happen now. BUT NO. Something or someone was doing something across the country and we had to spend 50 pages getting there. Add in a handful of super close calls of being caught and then inevitably escaping, and you have the basic plot. 
 I actually ended up skimming (skipping) almost a hundred pages and I found I was easily able to follow the story. Probably half of this book could have been cut and would have read much better. 
 I also found myself not overly interested in characters because I just wanted them to fucking find Liam already. LIKE GODDAMN. It all seemed like filler to make us wait until we found him. Everything else seemed unnecessary. It just made the whole thing a bit messy. 
 My final qualm with this book was the raging plot holes. Why could Jude only use his powers in random desperate situations? Why couldn't he help out in between? Why couldn't Ruby use her superpowers in more than select situations? A lot of the fight scenes wouldn't even be necessary if she just stopped feeling guilty about her powers and instead focused on survival. She could easily command mental control over any of her attackers and form her own robot army instead. Why can't all the kids just murder all of the bad adults? THEY HAVE SUPERPOWERS!! UGH. 
 The last third of the book, including the earlier part where Lida and Ruby have to fight that Red, was the most interesting and engaging section in my opinion. Things seemed to pick up and despite the fact that they were still TRAVELING, there seemed to be more action and emotion in the story. 
 I'm not going to continue on with the series, but appreciate the imagination and work that went into it.
