3.85 heh heh. 
 This was a very enjoyable read! The chapter endings, especially for the beginning chapters, definitely induced page-turning. I actually liked the weird love square going on, and I feel pretty attached to the characters. Certain times I preferred Elias' POV, and other times I preferred Laia's POV--so getting both perspectives was nice. I didn't particularly enjoy the superficial "handsome and elite solider dude and the more pathetic pretty girl" thing going on, but of course this book is more than that. I also got confused with the jargon; did I miss when she described what a "scim" looked like? I also felt old when reading this book because I feel like I would have been a lot less critical about this book if I read it two/three years ago! I did mini-cringes over hearing certain cheesy lines--even the last line of the book was like eh (although I understand the reasoning for having that as the last line).
