This series has been on my to-read list for years, I finally got around to getting it, AND I WANT TO PUNCH MYSELF IN THE THROAT FOR WAITING SO DAMN LONG. I am a cryer, I cried the other day because a little girl on Facebook was singing on X-factor and got the golden buzzer, didn't matter to me that I'd seen the video on like 8 seperate occasions. Of course not, I watched it again and loudly sobbed the whole time. Why am I like this? I have no idea, I never used to be a cryer, I reread books now, that at 15 I didn't even shed a tear at, and I wail. So reading this series was a goddamn nightmare for me, I had to stop every four seconds to cry because my tears were making it hard to see. But DAMN was it worth it, this was an awesome and heart wrenching series from the get go, it did have its moments where I was like "WTF ARE YOU DOING" but for the vast majority I was in love with these books. The characters are real and raw and they have been through so much, and it shows. God I love it when a book accurately depicts the after effects of trauma, some authors just don't seem to get that if Suzy fell down the well, Suzy is probably going to have a life long aversion to wells. And even more? These characters had to work at their recovery, it wasn't all peachy keen and roses, it was messy and honest AND I LIVE FOR THAT. I don't want to say too much about this series, cause I want you to read it and love it, I did see ~a lot~ of the twists coming, but was caught off guard for a lot too so that's okay. But I can't really fault this series, it was beautifully written (its chock full of amazing quotes) and it was just a raw, and real series that you need to read asap. *drinking game~ every time i say "raw and real" you take a shot*
Who I recommend this to: anyone who likes a good cry or doesn't, just read it.
I give it 5/5 roses š¹ it wasn't ~perfect~ but it was pretty damn close in my humble opinion.

I really did love this book and I feel a little bit empty after finishing the series
Amazing,,, AHHHHMAZING! Loved it.... Beautiful wonderful,,, š I could have read it faster if I wasnāt busy at school but I reached a point where I could not stop turning pages as hours and hours passed by (if I failed my exam today this book is to blame) The ending Is AMAZING BEAUTIFUL.. THANK GOD Alexandra Bracken Didnāt make it a sad ending, all I feel is happy. š¤Æš
Wait just now I felt a drop of sadness. This the end of a journey with the characters ā¹ļø

FINALLY finished this! I'm very satisfied with how everything ended up. I'm just sad that one character had to die. But at least the core group of characters got their happy ending and Ruby especially got what she's wanted since the start which was her family back. It was a solid series and I can't wait to see the story play out on the big screen soon!
Otra fantĆ”stica trilogĆa con un final que no me agrada del todo.
Sigo esperando un final algo mas Ć©pico, pero hasta ahora ni Grisha, Angelfall o The Darkest Mind lo ha logrado :/

Alexandra Bracken is the type of writer that writes her novels in a slow-burn manner. You find yourself forcing yourself through the first chunk of the book, just to get to that last 300 pages where it really picks up the pace. I thought I hated it, but finishing this in the last few days has made me realise just how much I love it. Those last 300 pages refer back to the first 200, where context, relationships, emotions have been slowly building in the back of your mind, ready to spill at just the right trigger word.
Iād give this 5 stars, but the frustration of the first half of the book holds me back. I love it so much, but I can see why it would cause people to DNF.
I can only hope the last book of the series keeps up this momentum, although Iām intrigued to know where itāll go with how this book ended!

I know that this book is supposed to pick up within the last 200 pages but I started reading it almost 1 year ago. New books came out that I was just too interested in, so I would stop and read them, and try to jump back in but my tbr pile kept growing. I gave it more than halfway and it just wasnāt working for me. Lifeās too short to drag myself to finish. Sorry Ruby.

I have to be honest I wasn't so fond of this book, it was a little too slow for me, but still amazing.
