What I love most about Marie Lu's books are the concepts she dives into in her worldbuilding. In the two previous books of this series we've already seen America being split into two countries: military-ruled America and corporate-ruled America. Being a few years older than I was reading the previous book and having a little more of an idea of how politics work in reality, I came to appreciate these portrayals a little more. But still, for a short while, Marie Lu added a perspective into a new concept, a VR-ruled country, which already gives this story some more interesting concepts to think about, but that I definitely would have wanted to know more about if I hadn't already read Marie Lu's Warcross series, which I can only assume was born out of this small glimpse into this VR-ruled country and extrapolating it into a whole VR-ruled world. For the rest of this book, I also have nothing else but praise. I enjoy the characters, their motivations, their dynamics and the conflicts inside these dynamics. The medical part of the story felt a little weird, but it was okay in the scope of suspension of disbelief that applies. The only part that I found lacking, but out possibly out of personal preference, is Day's illness. His illness had a lot of plot relevance already and as such I can't complain about that, but I still expected it to tie in with the bigger conflict between the countries and assumed we'd get an explanation what illness he suffered. I was disappointed when it was left vague until the end.
