You’d think that when a series continues after a planned ending, it would give you more answers, possibly flesh out the characters, plot and world building more, but no. This was not doing any of that.

Somehow Juliette thinks she can just be a supreme commander without any training or help, she gets angry with Castle for suggesting that Warner should help her out with international politics she doesn’t even understand (and then later admits he’s right?? But she’s still mad at him???)

I feel like the plot is constantly paused to allow for Juliette and Warner to have their moments, “let’s just pause EVERYTHING so they can kiss and cuddle and think about how hot the other is”, it’s quite annoying, especially when the other supreme commanders supposedly want her gone? Dead? Do they want to control her? I’m honestly not sure, and I don’t think they are either.

Juliette seems to suffer from what the internet would call main character syndrome, she’s got plot armour and apparently her abilities have no limitations. She says she cares about the people, but when she got angry with Warner, she was angry because he tortured her sister, not just because he tortured someone. (And honestly, who is she to be mad at him. She didn’t tell him he had brothers, and now she’s angry he didn’t tell her that she’s got two sets of horrible parents, whom he thought was dead. He wanted to save her the grief!) 

Rushing what could’ve easily been the plot of the entire book (if paced properly, and more fleshed out) is crammed into the last 40 pages. 

I don’t know what to say anymore, I feel like a broken record writing the reviews for this series cause the books are and feel the same, nothing changes and it’s starting to get boring how bad they are. 

And what the hell was the poison induced hallucination about? Why is that just never mentioned again? 

And killing Brendan, Lily, Alia and Ian at the very end was literally just for shock value but won’t affect the plot what so ever, they haven’t been relevant since the second book. I bet Juliette will mention them once in the next book and then forget they ever existed.
