renatasnacks 's review for:

Shatter City by Scott Westerfeld
5.0

fuck!!! why is Scott Westerfeld so good!!!! I didn't love [b:Impostors|37825397|Impostors (Impostors, #1)|Scott Westerfeld|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1537581177l/37825397._SX50_.jpg|59503640] but this one builds up the world and its technologies in such a SMART way, I'm obsessed. I also sort of thought the switched-twin dynamic would get old but honestly????? It kept working??? What the fuck????

Also the REVEAL at the end aaaaaaaa

Spoiler
This isn't even the big reveal but the thing about the Pax feels being emojis killed meeeee :')

But while I'm under spoiler text omg on one hand burying your gays isn't ideal but on the other hand I'm so ready for GAY REVENGE


(LOL I just went back and re-read my review of Impostors where I said, "I suppose this is a new series starter but I found myself wishing for a little bit more of world-building? Like Extras, this seems to be very much about privacy and how having or not having it impacts a society. But hopefully future books will dig into that more." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.)
