***WHO SUCKED ME IN
NekuTheBOOKlocke on YouTube in their WANT BY CINDY PON BOOKTALK | Book Review (Spoiler-Free) Discussion video published on 27 sep. 2018.

The spectacular follow up to WANT, by Cindy Pon, Ruse is equally as good. With a few more points of view shared to build the tension, the story follows the group to Shanghai to yet again defy Jin Corp, who has gone too far this time in stealing technology developed by an engineering student to be more accessible to the poorer echelons of China & Taiwan and the surrounding area.

4.5*

Jason and his friends are back again to battle the evil Jin after he steals a valuable object and targets another one of the group. Their plan to make things right relies heavily on Daiyu but Jason is the only one who really trusts her. This story gives us a more in depth look at all of the characters and how differently grief affects each of them.

I loved the futuristic setting, world building, fast-paced story, character development, and camaraderie between these friends. This is a strong story with a well developed plot and a suitable ending to this group's story. ( )
