Ok, so i loved this book series from start to finish, however, i don’t like how meyer wrote the epilogue. the ending of the plot itself was fitting and satisfactory, but when i read the epilogue it dipped my mood a bit? to put it simply without spoilers, meyer wrote a position which contradicted the entire lesson taught throughout three books. I could see it as a “this character is young, some people will always view the world this way” type thing, but to me it didn’t feel that way. 

Either way, that’s simply me being nit picky. 

Otherwise, this series was absolutely amazing from start to finish. though a bit hectic at times, i loved the world building, message and characters. Definitely would recommend this to any YA fan. 

(note: the 4 stars isn’t for the epilogue!! the missing star mostly came from the slight back-and-forth-ness confusion of the third book)

 I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't *love* the ending, but regardless, I did really like the whole series, and even the bits of the ending I thought I wasn't going to like worked well enough when it all came together. 

 Overall, I feel like this series had potential to be the most amazing thing ever that I recommended to everyone I know, but fell short to *merely* be a very enjoyable read that I'd be happy to re-read a few times. Not bad at all, and still recommended for people who would enjoy YA superhero type stories.
