I have forgotten so much of this book from when i read it last 8 years ago so it still managed to suprise me. I'm writing this I finished and I feel exhausted from the constant intensity of the book. It is definitely the strongest book in the series; it doesn't say how much time as has passed, but the characters read older, and so do their actions and thoughts, which I think is more appropriate for the story. I do think there might be one or two plot twists too many... I mean there are only so many times people can be wrong about something or someone. But at the same time, I can see why Ness would write the story in such a way. The added third perspective also deepens the character arcs and enriches the story further. I also loved the casual representation and inclusivity among the characters. All in all, this series absolutely has stood the test of time, and I think I'll have to re-read it again in another 8 years time.
