I don't think I've ever been this angry/frustrated with a character from a book before. I was frustrated with America, angry with Maxon and for Aspen...just go away please. I just hope everything turns out right in The One.

The beginning was very slow but it got better after the Halloween fiasco. I’m starting to lose interest since it’s very clear what’s going to happen with the rebel plot line and since the selection isn’t really a competition anymore since it’s clear Maxon is going to pick America but I kind of like the blossoming romance between them even though America was really annoying in this book so I’ll give it a 2.5/5

Definitely the weakest in the trilogy. Still lots of fun but the back and forth is slightly exhausting. Like girl… the perfect man is right there. Just accept it.

Tak tedy, pět bych klidně dala. Tuhle sérii mám fakt ráda, ale když uděláte z hlavní hrdinky děvku, je to pak o ničem. America mě tu tedy příšerně štvala, Aspen opět nic moc a dokonce i Maxon si lehce klesl. A když to shrnu? Na konci je to samé, co u prvního dílu. Opět nevím vůbec nic.
No, jsem zvědavá, co se z nich vyklube v První.

Rereading 2023: Teď bych to klidně snížila i k těm třem. Elita je v podstatě „každý s každým" a strašně mi to lezlo na nervy. Nerozhodnost je ok, pokud jí není tady skoro tři sta stran. A manipulativního Aspena nemůžu vystát čím dál víc. Ale pořád je to čtivé, v lecčems kreativní, má to svoje dobrá poselství a jo, pořád to je fajn romantická pohádka.

Contains very minimal spoilers? Maybe? Idk.

This book was no where near as good as the first, and there was once or twice where I was ready to give up. America switching back and forth between Maxon and Aspen every two pages was almost unbearable. But the ending saved it all. There was finally some real character development and interesting twists, instead of just this back and forth nonsense. Thank God for the ending.
