It gave me goosebumps at the end cuz it was just that good. It brought back feelings of the main duology.
It was great reading about Declan's and Noah's pasts. I even sympathized with Declan even though I hated him inthe main books. And I wanted to read more of Noah on how he made the decision to open a securities company, but oh, well.
Okay, I'm just flailing about it. Go read the series.

This is a prequel to Archetype and Prototype, and introduces us to both Noah and Declan in their younger days, dealing with overbearing fathers and finding out who they really are and what they're meant to do. Antitype is relatively short, but it's a nice addition to the existing stories. Recommended for those who have read the two novels and want just a little bit more.

This novella shows us why our hero and anti-hero (which is which is your prerogative) became who they were. And in the centre of their plights is Emma; the woman that inadvertently (and unknowingly) steered their respective destinies. Ms. Waters' publicist said this will ease some of the pain of waiting for Prototype, but I respectfully disagree. It did not soothe anything; it just fanned the flame of my miserable want to murderous degree.

July is too fucking far away.

It was a wonderful glimpse into who these characters were. I would have loved the other books so much more had I read this. It gave them a depth that was missing

This is a MUST read for fans of the Archtype and Prototype! This is a short story set in the months prior to the raid that freed Emma and is told from the perspective of Noah and Declan. My only complaint is that it is so short. I loved being in each of these men’s head and feel that we get a better understanding of how these men became who they are. We also get a better idea of what all is wrong with this world and society. Short answer: Men with unparalleled and unchecked power run amok. This story answered a lot of questions I had after reading Prototype, but also left me wanting even more. I SO want to see this society changed!

I’m still a fan of Declan, and am heartbroken to learn of how he became the bad guy for this series. I am almost as outraged for what happen to him as to what it is like for females living in this world. He was controlled and manipulated as much as they were. Then there is Noah. I like him even more now that I’ve learned so much about him. It was also interesting to meet so many other members of his family. It would be interesting to follow their lives for a while as well. I think good things could be seen from them too.

This book sparks a lot of outrage in me for the way some of the characters are treated, hell how one half of the human species is treated. I hope Ms. Waters continues and finds a way to liberate the female population in the world she created. I so want to be there when the men that created these rules for face justice for what they have created.

Great read! Answers many questions and gives us a perspective of what life is like that we don’t get from the other two books.

The first thing you should know is that this is told from Declan and Noah's respective perspectives and that we only see Emma at the very end. If you're expecting to learn more about her relationships with either, you're going to be a little disappointed.

Instead, this novella helps us learn more about Declan and Noah. Because we only know them from Emma's perspective (and because so much of Archetype is confusing and Emma doesn't really remember either of them all that well), this is a very valuable thing.

I am definitely Team Noah, but I appreciated getting to see a better side of Declan. And it was interesting to see exactly how each person became the way they were. (When we met them in Archetype, they were pretty well established, personality-wise.)

I hope there will be another book set in this world, and even more hopeful that it will be released soon. I really love these characters and books.

Highly recommended. (And for those of you who haven't read Prototype---sorry to rub it in---this will definitely help fill the void. If you haven't read Archetype, change that immediately.)
