About this deal

The plot was incredibly interesting to me. I was completely absorbed and unable to look away. It barely mattered that I was staying with my friend because I finished this book in two days. It was amazing. This book got everything. To name a few, I experienced some razor sharp action, last minute escapes, a lot of seriously great plot twists, powerful dialogues, humour, slow burn romance & that totally unexpected ending! Man! I wasn't prepared for that 😨 So I did and I dislike virus books and am not a huge fan of triangles but ... I actually liked this. Anyway, since I don't have the habit of taking notes while reading, this will be my review for now until I remember what I've missed.

No out of the blue twists, but the satisfying AHA! ones. The technology is just wow. Everything fits, everything makes sense. No detail is without purpose. Here are some of the choice examples of the causes of death recorded in a Bill of Mortality from 1664: This was my most anticipated release of last year and it lived up to my expectations almost in every way. I love the mystery surrounding Cat's character and I can't wait for the last book to tie everything together. I mean, Suvada will let us rest at some point, right? She's not gonna end her last book on a cliff hanger, right? Guys, I'm sweating over this. My characters are gonna get time to chill, RIGHT?! Anyway, I eagerly await the final book in this trilogy. I just know it's gonna be epic. Suvada couldn't be boring if she tried. Full circle moment over. Actually I’m assuming trilogy I guess it may end up being more but this is definitely book one and what a book one it is. For a start we have genuinely likable characters, none of whom are in any way generic, who you almost immediately care about and by the end of the novel you are entirely attached to.Joshi, S.T.

I mean, first off, I've already gotten desensitized to the whole "eat a person to be immune" premise, and I guess dying and death and suffering and illness don't really faze me, which definitely could have been a result of me knowing more about these books and knowing that there was a third book in store.

You can find the full review and all the fancy and/or randomness that accompanies it at It Starts at Midnight All of the characters in the book were delightfully written, unique and original. Some of the new characters, like Mato and Regina, added to the story nicely. Where there's good, there's bad, and Mato and Regina, both morally gray characters, were fun to get to know. Jun Bei's story also ramped up in This Cruel Design. The more I learn about Jun Bei, the more I like her character. She has a streak of compassion but all the hardness of someone who's had a really hard life. The big problem here is that I just found this one very hard to connect with. You all know what a slut I am for character-driven stories, and while I actually liked the protagonist of this story, I never connected with her. I will fully admit that she is kind of a badass and this only makes it more sad that I didn’t connect with her. Few people have suffered as much childhood trauma as those in eastern Europe in the last century. Russia fought horrific wars with Japan, Central powers, and Germany. (1904, 1914, 1945) I do think part of the reason why I didn't love This Cruel Design as much as I did This Mortal Coil was because I was expecting to like This Cruel Design, where I walked into This Mortal Coil basically blind and hoping for something good (and something good it was).Stop the presses I’ve found my new YA trilogy obsession with Emily Suvada’s “This Mortal Coil” a fast paced, intricately woven, brilliantly fascinating and best of all intelligent and addictive thriller. Overall, while the pacing of This Cruel Design was a bit slower for me to get into this was an amazing read that lived up to the glory of the first book. The stakes have been raised and our characters are all trying to do what they feel is right; right or wrong are both justified here and makes the reader question their loyalties. I absolutely love this series and will continue to shove it at everyone who will listen to me. THIS WILL BE MY LEGACY! For this section, I’m only going to talk about the main character very briefly. I don’t want to give too much away within the book by talking about all the characters of importance and relevance to the story. I really feel Cat is truly the most important character, as well, especially with how this book ends. hoo boy this is going to be a bitch of a review to write. i don't think i've ever been so conflicted about a book in a while.

More information on the post- (and pre-) virus world. Lots of details that I was yearning for in the last book have come to light- and I know there are more to come. The author manages to give just enough information to satisfy, while still leaving you excited for whatever she throws at you next. And I love it. Cat might have found a vaccine for the deadly Hydra plague, but the journey has revealed secrets that shattered her world and has left her reeling, no longer truly knowing who she is or what her purpose should be. Camping in the woods with Cole and Leoben, Cat is hoping for a chance to regroup and decide on her next move, but time is running out if she is going to prevent Lachlan from reprogramming humanity. She also needs to learn how to control her new panel and deal with the memory glitches that threaten to reveal more secrets.Nevertheless, he is an optimist. He points to medical marvels that may lie ahead—such as 3 D-printed organs that could make it routine to go into hospital at 60 to “freshen up” with new lungs, kidneys, liver or pancreas, grown from stem cells and optimised by genetic editing. “We could then have hearts like Usain Bolt and lungs like Serena Williams,” he writes. “Many more of us would only die when our brains can no longer function.” The “years of living with chronic disability”, which now blight old age, would be over. The ending for me wasn't the strongest, it was unique sure, but I left the book feeling a little letdown AND I BLAME THE DAMN HYPE! So many details of the plot are revealed in the exact same way as the world. Along with that so many plot points were because of stupid actions by the characters. Convenient scenes were just thrown in there at the right moment.
