This is by far the best of the series. America and Maxon were quite annoying, but with the political intrigue making more of an appearance, and those blasted letters written by America's father and Maxon, it easily tops the trilogy. Obviously there were some very loose ends and I felt a bit fulfilled with the crazy couple of chapters at the end, but I am sure there is some sort of resolution in the rest of the series. That being said, I have heard person after person tell me to stop after the third, so for the time being that is my plan. I do have to say, though, this book reignited a small part of me that miss dystopian romances.
Honestly, I was super unsatisfied by this ending (I know there are a couple more books as well, but those focus on the next generation so I would consider this the end of the first part of the series). It felt like there was way too much crammed into the last quarter of the book, and a lot of it was barely addressed. I would've loved if that stuff had been expanded on but it was kind of just glossed over. The ending also just felt so rushed. Overall, I really liked this series and although I wasn't mad at the actual ending, I was very disappointed by how nothing seemed really fleshed out.

A main conflict that ran throughout all three books was America and Aspen's relationship and America hiding it from Maxon, and I feel like the way it was resolved was kind of lazy. Maxon just sees them together, decides to break up with America, but then after the rebel attack just decides he's fine with it? I understand that in the life or death scenario he realized he only wanted to be with America, but I still think they should've had more of a conversation about it. The other huge point of contention in this novel specifically was that the king hated America. The way this was resolved definitely seemed lazy. It was like "Oh, the king didn't like America? Well, he's dead now so whatever!"
Okay so, I liked this book but, America is super annoying, she has very clear decisions but with every one of them she still struggles way too much. Maxon is a sweetie, but it’s just that his completely unconditional love even though he doesn’t know her for very long and she messes up like every week it’s a little bit cringey, also, you don’t have any moment when you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s very clear for the beginning, so all the back and forth it’s just annoying. But all that said, it was fun and if you want something relaxed and easy to read maybe I would recommend.

This was surprisingly a satisfyingly solid ending! The world was a lot more clearer in this book, and for whatever reason America wasn't half as annoying as she was in the first two! Before reading this one I wasn't planning on reading the books from their daughter's POV, but if they're anything like this book I'm in! *swoon*
