"I am not ruined. I am ruination."

R&R told a way better story than the previous book. I liked the way it wrapped up, and was glad Mal wasn't such a d-bag in this. But I HATE when people are killed and brought back to life in YA books. It feels like there's nothing real at stake for the characters, which makes the story feel cheap.

I didn't think the story itself was *that* great. Not that it was bad, it's was just average IMO.

That being said - despite the average storyline, it told a SUPERB lesson. It was so relevant to current issues such as immigration, prejudice and flat out racism, stereotypes, technology, and a leader who maaaaybe shouldn't be a leader. 🙄 On that alone, this book gets an A+ from me. If you have a teenager in your life, give them a copy of this book!
