My Rating: 4 STARS
My Review:
Even though I enjoyed Warcross I was put off reading Wildcard because I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about it but I ended up loving this book and I liked it even more than the first one.
I thought the story in Wildcard was very exciting and it really felt like the stakes were raised. I loved being inside this world again, it is so interesting to read and very easy to imagine.
I felt even more attached to the characters and I liked how the back stories were explained. I liked finding out the characters motivations behind everything and I thought there were some really interesting twists in this book that surprised me. I'm still not a fan of the romance in these books but I felt there was a lot more to the story than that so I didn't mind it that much.
Everything felt more emotional, from the characters to the overall storyline. Maybe it was because we've already been introduced to the world but I felt more connected to the world in Wildcard and I thought the imagery of the world was fantastic.
Overall I thought this was a great conclusion to the Warcross duology. Even though I liked Warcross I felt so much more emotionally invested in Wildcard and I liked reading the characters back stories and thought there was some interesting twists. I've read Marie Lu's previous series' and I loved how she ended them and I feel the same way about Wildcard.
