The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 starts is because sometimes I felt like there was somethings that really didn't have to happen and he just added them in there to make the book longer.  It is over all very entertaining and a very easy read. I just feel a lot of some of the stuff that is happening in the series as a whole is getting very repetitive, but I still am very much enjoying it. Most of the characters are all very lovable. I feel like somethings he did go over/move on way to fast; but I guess that is also the point of the book, because most of the time they are in dire circumstances where you can't really linger on one thing too long or you'll end up dead. Overall I very much enjoyed it!

This book was emotional, overwhelming and non stop. It was a rollercoaster to read but I’m happy I stuck with it and finished it

I’m only somewhat disappointed in t ending but it could have been worse. I liked how the book went full circle and they went back to the glade which felt like years ago even though it was only weeks ago.

I was impressed to say the least with the outcome of the book
