Some of it is definitely due to the fact that there was a whole year between when I read the two (I’m confident of this because I read them both while on my winter training trip), and I think my reading of Wildcard suffered a bit for it. I’ll be honest and say that I definitely could’ve done a better job of remembering the events and characters from Warcross before jumping into Wildcard. Minor spoilers for Warcross below, but nothing major from Wildcard. It is still very much a satisfying Marie Lu ending, which I have to give it credit for because I tend to be very critical of series finales. I really did like it, and there were even parts that I loved, but I wasn’t blown away. I’m happy to report that it met my expectations. Needless to say, I had some pretty high expectations for Wildcard. While Warcrosswas far from my favorite book or favorite book by Lu, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to see what happened in the sequel/finale.

I am not sure if I’ve said it before, but Marie Lu has written some of my absolute favorite books and all of my favorite finales (*cough The Midnight Starcough*). In short, sorry I stink at the whole “schedule” thing (being on top of everything? Don’t know her.) Without further ado, let’s review. Hello again! Long time, no post because I’m a busy (albeit lazy) bee, so much so that I’m only just now writing a review for a book I read a month ago! I hate doing this, but I am happy to say that I remembered way more of my original thoughts than I expected to, so go me! With that in mind, this review may be a bit shorter and less put together than some of my others, but it is still an accurate reflection of my opinions.
