It rained the day they brought us to Turmond... And it rained the day that i walked out
Wauw what an ending to an amazing series. Im going to miss these characters so much, i really grew to love them. Ruby, Vida, Zu, Liam, Chubs, Jude, Cole, Nico and even Clancy a little bit.. Im going to miss them so much. What i really hope for this series is that it is going to be picked up by a producer or something, i want to see this on the screen like right now..
All of them grew up so much through the course of the series, and I really like it when it's the case. Ruby's character development was the most interesting and the most remarkable. She positioned herself as leader, she came from being a scared little girl to being this strong women.
As for Liam, i found him sometimes a bit irritating. He came up with tons of plans but never put them in the group, he just went out and did them without consulting anyone. He more than once could have been killed because of that. I got why he felt left out though, they treated him like he was made out of glass and couldn't handle a thing. He ultimatly saved the day.. Liam and Ruby's relationship frustrated me immensely. During half of the book, if not more, I couldn't even tell they were a couple. They were speaking to each other occasionally, and when they were, it was usually to argue about Ruby not trusting and not telling him what was going on between her and Cole. Of course, not in the sense “are you guys making out behind my back?” but rather “can you guys tell me what the hell you're preparing that you're not sharing with the rest of us?”. Now that I've finished the book, I wouldn't say they don't belong with each other, but still. Very, very frustrating.
Cole.. oh Cole. my heart is crying. He was something special, the only red in the group.. no one knew about him except Ruby. I felt like he should have opened up more, i would have loved to learn more about him. I also found it dissapointing that they never explained how Cole came to be a Psy to.. like he was to old to have powers. . He's very different from his brother but my heart also melts each time he calls Ruby “Gem”. Much like Ruby, you can see that he's doing everything in his power to protect his family, although Liam didn't see that. He lacked subtlety with his brother but I was not blinded by his callousness. I loved his relationship with Ruby and the fact that only they could understand how living with such powerful and dangerous abilities was like.
Now, I did find that the pacing was way too slow. The beginning was great, but after their arrival at the Ranch, nothing exciting happened and it sometimes became a bit boring. Almost the entire book is about scheming and plotting, putting up a strategy in ordor to free the kids from the camps, and more specifically preparing a big hit on Thurmond, the camp where Ruby was detained for most of her life. But the book made up for it by making some fantasic things happen which i cant say BECAUSE OF SPOILERS, but wauw.. im so happy! Loved loved loved it.

It was okay, not as good as the first two. I found this much slower and not as engaging, especially at the start. I also found some choices the characters made confusing. It had a satisfying ending.

I fell into a reading slump. I plan on picking it back up at a later date.
I might have read this book 5 years too late, I have outgrown my dystopia phase and the story does not tug at my inner teenager.
At least I got to finish this series.
