While I was reading the series I got really curious about Aspen's feelings and thoughts about Maxon and America together. Finally I got my answers through this novella. I saw how Aspen really loved America. At first it seems like he is being selfish because he expressed how much he wanted America to be with him, and he also thinks that Maxon is not good for America. But eventually I saw that Aspen only wants what's best for America, because he loves her so much. Either way, I think that whether America ended up with Aspen, I would still have love it because he also deserves America the way Maxon does.

I love these books. I'm a Maxon girl, so I only gave this book 4 stars, but I really liked it.

How could this end before we even hear about Lucy?! And the stable man? Man, this one was definitely too short. Aspen had his chance with America and his interventions into America and Maxon’s love is irritating to me, so I would have loved to hear more about his happily every after.

Siempre me gusta leer del punto de vista de otros personajes, porque los hace mas reales dentro de la historia, y el caso de Aspen no es una excepcion. No voy a decir que de repente me gusta su personaje, de hecho, todo lo contrario, me gusta menos que desde el punto de vista de America. Pero fue interesante saber que pasaba fuera de lo que sabiamos por America, y poder conocer mas sobre los guardias y las doncellas.

Initial thoughts:

1. Background on Aspen's life = great!
2. Obsession and thinking that America belonged him = ugh, not so great.
3. Fast-paced and interesting, although the scenarios already have been shown in The Elite.
4. Easy and understandable writing.
5. I definitely lost every ounce of hope I have seen in this boy to become some better character.
