I wanted to give this 3 stars because I was not entirely happy with the ending. I mean, I was, but it felt rushed. Maybe it was just me? Idk. But I really did enjoy this book so it'd be sad not to give it 4 stars because I'm being a baby on what should've happened. Lol. But overall this was a fantastic thriller series. I loved it. :)

I love Jenny Han so much, she quoted my favorite line from The Outsiders Nothing gold can stay . However, I hated this ending.
Alex got lamer in each passing book so much so that by the end of this book I was groaning outloud whenever he made an appearance. Overall there was a lot I liked, the dialogue, the intensity, but it's difficult to have a series end in a way you can't agree with.

I find it hard to believe that Lillia went from "not being to breathe" without Reeve to realizing they would of never been together if Rennie hadn't died in the course of a conversation with Ash when they were crazy about each other before she died. I can buy that Lillia and Reeve wouldn't end up together forever since most first loves don't last but her and Alex ending up together seemed like settling. Both Kat and Reeve both got terrible endings.Alex got lamer in each passing book so much so that by the end of this book I was groaning outloud whenever he made an appearance.

Book: Ashes to Ashes
Author: Jenny Han
Source: Library
I started this book without the knowledge that this was a third in a series (whoops).
I could not deal with the ending, there was no proper conclusion and it certainly wasn't very satisfactory. The only character that seemed fleshed out was Lillia. Which is ironic considering that the story is told in the perspective of three different people.

okay seriously though, lets talk about the ending. Throughout the whole books it is emphasised that reeve really loves her, Kat can tell that he adores her and Lilia feels the same way. So in the end when Lillia gets together with Alex and reeve is brushed over, he got a leg injury and just settled back in Jar Island does not make storybook sense. Kat didn't get to go to the college of her dreams and her dog died, which again, was brushed over. If you're going to leave everything sour at the end, at least make it long enough for people to feel something or understand why this has happened.julialn's review against another edition

I am so over this book. I will pretend the rest of my life that I never read it.
After such beautiful and intricate development in the last two books Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian just ruined everything. I am so mad with this ending, it was just stupid kind of Suzanne-Collins'-crocodiles-that-whisper-and-kill-Finnick stupid.
And although I hated this ending so much to actually put into complete sentences, I enjoyed the dialogues and the wittiness of the characters; meaning Kat DeBrassio because she is a rock star me I will forever try to be as sharp tongued her.
I feel so let down by this books it's almost palpable.
I still love Jenny Han's writing because she's Jenny Han and she slays with the depth she gives to her characters.

I mean wtf was that?! You cannot give a character so much development and then completely shatter that.
Reeve turned into the loser that he always dreaded! And Alex and Lillia? Really? Wtf!

This book was amazing and so thrilling! Never read a book like it. I remember the day I got the first book of the series. So, glad I bought it! The whole series kept me until the very end! It's definitely a page turner! I can honestly say this is the best book series I have ever read in my life, and I've read many books in the course of my life. Everyone should totally check this series out! You will not be disappointed!!

This was a pretty solid third book, though I didn't really love the very end. It felt rushed, and I wish the authors had left a few things more open-ended.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the more supernatural/paranormal parts of the book, basically anything to do with Mary. It wasn't my favorite part of the first two books, but I enjoyed how it was explored in this one, for the most part.
So for me, this was a pretty good book. Though the ending was a bit disappointing.
