Wildcard
by Marie Lu
In the end of November I finally got my hands on the sequel to Warcross. I flew through Warcross last year as I liked it a lot. Because of that I was so excited when the sequel came out. My expectations were soooooo high, however, that I decided to wait a bit longer as high expectations are never a good things when it comes to stories in my expiriance.
[Warning: Contains spoiler from here on]
Sadly, I did not like it as much as I hoped I would. I can't exactly pinpoint why I liked this book so much less than the first book. I think it had a bit to do with the path the story walked down on. It had an interesting concept and it definetly solved some questions but... I don't know... when hearing what the first book was about I wouldn't have expected to end in a storyline about human AIs and inhuman experiments.
It was well written and the story flew well which was great and I was very happy to see that the side characters finally got a bit more back story and character (which was one thing I missed in the first book).
I was not okay with the mention of our current popculture in the book tho. BTS was mentioned twice and there were muktiple other mentions of things from today too... which for me is weird as it plays in the future and as sorry as I am to say this taste and popular things change. It always makes me sad to see popculture specificly mentioned in books too as the story gets dated through this so much quicker.
In the end it was an okay book for me. Not great but not bad. I give this book 2.5 stars
