Well, it was no match for the first two books. But still amazing nonetheless. I love the friendship between Mara, Jaime and Stella tho I think it was unfair for Stella to walk away from them because she was 'afraid' of Mara? Like WTF! She did what she had to do. Jaime was afraid but he stays. I love the ending the most, how it ends with the letter we read in the first book, you know the one with the 'My name is not Mara Dyer....' Perfect ending
I'm.... well I don't know I'm kinda speechless.... give me a sec..............
Ok, I have to say this was really good and very entertaining beautifully written Michelle Hodkin knows how to tell a story her writing is captivating but what I loved most was she had this knowledgeable edge to her writing. This series is dark spooky at times and sad there are a lot of twisty messy turns, I'd be crying one min and laughing the next. Every character in here was amazing you love to love them and loved to hate them. I loved this series and when I re-read it someday I'll come back with a better review sometimes books can make your thoughts so scrabbled you can't let them out lol.
Happy Reading My Friends!!!

This was such an unexpected ending to this trilogy. I honestly couldn't have guessed the outcome if I had all the clues handed to me on a silver platter. To my surprise though, I am more satisfied with the ending than I had imagined I would be. I hear a lot of complaints about this installment, but I think it accomplished exactly what Hodkin set out to do. I do think there are some lose ends and some things i would like cleared up, but that is what the new spin off series is for :).
I loved the absolute spiral of confusion the first two books threw me into. I loved that I was grasping for straws and theorizing and second guessing everything. But in this book, the author really buckled down and moved right into the plot. There were not as many mind games, well there were, just of a different kind. Rather than trying to guess what was and was not real, this story was a search and mission for answers.
The biggest downfall of this series is that people don't seem to know how to classify or explain the series in an accurate way that doesn't spoil the plot. Because of this, I think readers enter the story under false pretenses and ultimately end up emerging dissatisfied with the revelations. However, I think the author created a brilliant story, centered around many popular archetypes, set in a modern world, with each archetype identifying with a certain ability. It definitely ties all the different paths from the first book together to create a unique mythology for this world.
Overall, this installment is both everything and nothing that I wanted. Plus, Hodkin weaves in so many pop culture references. It is amazing.

Hmmm...this book was all over the place. It made me feel like the author had no clue how to end the series.
This book was extremely disappointing. I thought this series was building up to something exciting and crazy, but nope. It was all a bunch of crap. Just like Veronica Roth did with Allegiant, Michelle Hodkin threw in all this genetic crap that was boring and confusing. Mara was way too obsessed with Noah and her obsession was frustrating at times. I wish I could've enjoyed this book more, but I basically had to force myself to finish it. This was not the conclusion I craved.
Annoying, and far too drawn out. I only read it for Noah and Mara, and they weren't even together for 3/4 of the book.
It's not often I read a book that I feel affects me on a deep level like this one did - no, like the whole series has. Some of it was hard to read, some of it I read over and over again and savored. I will not be able to think of this series without getting sappy about it.
For the ending, I choose to think like Noah: These two will be together forever and the predictions set forth by the Professor is bullshit and means nothing. Noah and Mara will forge their own path and the everyone else can go hang. Mara might even see to that!
I know at some point I will be returning to this series because it is just that good and I love the characters just that much.

While I didn't hate this book as much as the others. I still had a lot of problems with it. But first lets go with what I liked.
I liked that we learned so much about how a lot of it happened somewhat and that they weren't the first people to have it.
I liked Stella and Mara's "friendship" and how Stella wouldn't always go with whatever she said.
Now what I didn't like was that almost everyone just went with whatever Mara said even though she was always the most clueless. All she ever cared about was Noah. She didn't care about trying to figure out what type of damage her ability could do, or what everyone else could do. She didn't even care about the experiments done one other people that Kell's did. All she ever cared or wanted was Noah and while some people might think that was super romantic I found it to be rather pointless in this situation.
Also if Noah's dad didn't want them to ever be together then why did he make certain things happen that would bring them together. Why did he leave Noah there alone with Mara, if he really didn't want them together shouldn't he have forced Noah to leave with him.
What was Lukumi problem throughout the whole thing and why didn't he talk to them all in person and try to explain better why he did certain things. I got that he had tried to change certain things through his letter he wrote to Mara but still he should have known better then to make certain other things happen or try to control them.
Where the last 20 pages even really needed? I didn't care about that, we knew what choice they would make because they had made it before and will continue to make it until they do eventually die.
