I absolutely loved most of this book. The worldbuilding and political intrigue is still fantastic, and I really enjoyed the (albeit brief) look at Antarctica as a completely different society to the Republic and Colonies. I also loved the relationship between Day and June, they are so perfect for each other and their bond was especially strong in this book since they were fully trusting and communicating with each other. My heartstrings were tugged on multiple times. 

I did not like the ending, although I’m not sure if that’s a writing thing or if it’s just me being a firm hater of both the amnesia plotline and the time skip epilogue in general. I groaned audibly when June said she and Anden started dating! And then I was very relieved when she said they broke up. I did appreciate the hopeful tone of the very last few paragraphs, though.

I enjoyed this trilogy a lot and I loved the ending, so I am not sure if I want to read Rebel.
