This series is terrible. But hey, the author got me to read all three so that's something.
If you've been keeping up with my reviews of this series, you'll know that I think the books are fun to read and hard to put down. They are not award winners, but they do draw you in and make you cheer for America Singer. There was a bigger plot involved as the series went on than I originally expected, and I felt that was carried out well. I hear there's another book being added later this year, and I''m curious to read it.
I can’t believe how many things I forgot in re-reading this but it made for an interesting ride! I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I’ll probably be re-reading the others soon but I’m nervous about Eadlyn...
This was an entertaining end to this series.
I was happy to see that America finally made up her mind and showed some backbone in this book.
I did have a problem with some parts of the ending though...
And I didn't like the fact that this big, epic battle is going on and all we get to read about it, is America trying to escape her safe room...
I enjoyed this series, but I would have liked to read it from a dual perspective instead of just America's. I think it would have been really nice to read about Maxon's story and his struggles with his father, the girls and his path to finding out what kind of King he wants to be.
If you're looking for a fluffy romance novel with a bit of action on the side and you are a fan of The Bachelor tv show, this book is definitely for you!

WHY did my favorite, snarky character have to be killed of? I wanted to throw the book across the room. There weren't a lot of characters I liked in this book, most were ok, but I did really like this particular one and OF COURSE she got killed...And I didn't like the fact that this big, epic battle is going on and all we get to read about it, is America trying to escape her safe room...

So, this book did redeem itself from The Elite. I do love Maxon, as per usual. He is always there for America, even though it's sometimes annoying that he goes from America to Kriss to America. I mean, we all know that you like America, so end the goddamn thing already. It's obvious from the first page that America will somehow will end up with him, because that's how these kinds of plot work. Whats holding you back Maxon? Did you have to get shot in order to finally propose?
Also the thing with Aspen is getting old and is going nowhere. What is the point of it still being there and explored? It still the boring thing that is there to create plot. The rebel aspect is interesting though, but unnecessary. I wanted some romance, not a political plot (even though I do love my political fantasies). It does raise some interesting questions, but it did not have to be explored, because again, plot. America does make some dumb decisions, but overall she does make better decisions and think things trough. She did improve in this book, thankfully. She is less annoying, and FINALLY MAKING SOME DECISIONS FOR ONCE. Especially concerning the entire Aspen situation. She made up her mind in the end, but it could have been faster.
ORIGNIAL REVIEW
I love Maxon so much. Am I the only one that does not mind Aspen tho?

Kiera Cass cannot write a novel to save her life. This was a crappy book with a decent ending that still did not make up for the crappiness and the eye-rolling. Seriously, there was so much eye-rolling. So much.
I absolutely loved this book. Yes it had quite a few flaws but as far as series finales go, this one is up there with Ignite Me. I just wish there was a few extra chapters after the ending of this book to tie it all up. In fact, I wish there was a whole other book to explore a lot more into this world.
This was amazing conclusion to America and Maxon romance story. I love how the characters developed into fully fleshed out characters by the end of the book. This series is one for anyone who is interested in romance.
