A lot of my issues with Isa had to do with playing the ap first and being absolutely horrified with what was going on with my original group of classmates: Autumn, Wes, Julian, Mia, Ezra, and to a lesser degree Koh, Payton, Sakura, and Nishan. When the book basically started attacking them, I stopped caring what was happening to any of the other characters, because I had to protect these characters and I couldn't do it. And then on top of that, the secondary group, the ones I probably was supposed to care most about, were also under attack and my favorite love interest, Aiden, was suspended from the school. It was just a horrible roller coaster of bad emotions for the majority of the book.
