* BrokenBase: The PurpleProse narration, particularly in the first book. One side is completely driven up the wall with how [[{{Narm}} over-the-top abstract]] it gets; the other like or at least tolerates it because it's a stylistic choice indicative of Juliette's character.
* ClicheStorm: The plot itself could be copy-pasted from your typical YA novel: there's a dystopian government opposed by plucky rebels who place all their hopes in a young teen with special powers. Said teen is also caught in a LoveTriangle. Nothing particularly new is done with these plot points either; the series' main focus and strength is instead on Juliette's CharacterDevelopment.
* NarmCharm: Whether the prose is more 'narm' or more 'charm' depends on [[BrokenBase which camp you fall into]], but even those who like it can admit it's a bit ridiculous. However, it serves its purpose in giving Juliette [[TheOphelia a truly]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} unique voice]], so one might find that it grows on you after a while.
* RomanticPlotTumor: The "''ComicBook/XMen'' rebels fighting against the dystopian government" plotline is mostly overshadowed by the "Juliette, Adam and Warner are in a LoveTriangle" plotline in the first three books.
