I'm too hot and tired to write a proper review at the moment (the weather here is crazy) but here are my rough thoughts on the book. I'll try to come back and get this into a proper review sometime in the summer holidays.

Parts of this were really good, even 5 star quality, but some parts were just a let down. The story itself was interesting and I loved all the odd stuff about the world that was almost like ours (Veggs, likes, 1s, StillGoodReads, and more). After a while I also became accustomed to the military style language that's used quite a lot and really makes Angel Leonard's character more realistic. What let this book down was the fighting scenes, which were way too boring. I'm used to books where any fighting is fast paced and you really feel awakened and alive. Primed just didn't do that (which is funny considering the title).The action scenes were long a boring and far too descriptive to keep it interesting. I understand that what this character does in a situation like that is take in her surroundings and remember every last detail to make sure she can make the most of her situation, I just wish the author could have described everything less and got on with the action. But other than that it's a really good book which I'm glad to have won, and it came in very close to getting 4 stars off me. Plus, I really really liked the twist. :)… (més)
