4.0

This book made me hate it and love it at the same time, I like it more than the first one, obviously. I most confess that I was expecting something more bigger, like everybody told me but I think it happened but not in a way I would like.
We have this situation in which Juliette is already free from the Reestablishment, now is with Omega Point, which is full of talented and awesome people and now they are preparing themselves to be ready for a war.
That was going so damn well but...
The characters:
Juliette was making me angry all the time, I see a lot of potential in her character, a lot of development and a lot of power but everytime that she was doing good, Adam was there to make her weak and powerless. It was like a rollercoaster of feelings, in some chapters I loved her and I was proud but then in other ones I just wanted to punch her in her face and make her open her eyes. Romance make her weak, frienship make her stronger but she apparently didn't want that. I mean when she faced the son of a bitch of Anderson I was so happy and proud because she did by herself, when she make the earth trembling that was so bloody awesome. But at the beginning, everyone wanted to give her too much oportunities: to have friends, but she was so into Adam that the only thing she wanted to see was him. Which lead me to...
Adam Kent. I swear that I have never read such a bored and stupid character in my whole life. When I start with the book I told myself that I was going to give an opotunity to him, but the hell I couldn't because he didn't give anything to love him, he was so "JULIETTE PLEASE LOVE ME" that I just wanted to someone to kick him in his ass. He is like an obstacle for Juliette, he doesn't let her to grow up, he's always trying to make her weak. His ability is kind of cool, and we found out that he's not inmune to Juliette he's just power off her ability. Both of them reacted so immature: Like, dudes, just because you can't touch each other doesn't mean that is the end of the relationship, there are other ways to show love but NOOOOO they didn't want that, they wanted kisses and kisses and kisses and sex and WOW, so damn dissapointed. That lead me to...
Aaron Warner: I have conflictive feelings toward him, I like him better now, and even more because he's romantic with Juliette but he wants to know her, he wants to see all her potential, he see she's capable of so many things and he doesn't try to stop her. I love that part when she's telling him that they could be friends and he says yes but then some chapters after he says he wants to be other type of friend, and I just love that. But, HE IS ADAM'S STEPBROTHER, and I'm not sure if I want to see that kind of love triangle. But, HE HURT KENJI and Juliette didn't do anything, didn't tell Castle about Warner's abilities, didn't tell them that he was goind to scape, and for me that is betrayal, like I understand you like him but NO, NO, NO I didn't like that at all.
And then there it is: KENJI my favorite character of all in that series. I love him to death. He's just so damn awesome and cute and funny and I love all the speeches he gave to Juliette, I love him and I just want him to be okay. He's amazing. His relationship with everyone at Omega Point was the best, I love Castle, Winston, Brendan, Sara and Sonya. I love everyone there.

Overall, as I said, I like it but hate it. It's cool, I'm still in love with the writing style, Juliette and Adam really tried my patience and I just hope that she and him and they get better in the last one. I hope Adam let me see the reality of him, no more "JULIETTE PLEASE LOVE" NO, I DON'T WANT THAT ANYMORE. And I also hope that Juliette stops taking all the guilty to herself. Adam and Warner fall in love with her and that is not her fault, if she hurt them they blame her and that is just wrong. I don't want any of that in the last one.
Bye.
