I can’t believe this series sat unread on my shelves for so many years! I adored it! Perry and Aria are now one of my favorite couples. Aria and Roar’s friendship reminds me a lot of Juliette and Kenji’s from Shatter Me. Cinder has a little bit of an Eleven from Stranger Things vibe going on. The whole story gave me Shatter Me vibes at times. It’s exactly what I wanted from a classic YA dystopian series 🙌🏻 If you haven’t read this one, pick it up already!!

The more it goes, the more it is slooow
There is so much things happening so much betrayal and revelation yet it feels like nothing is happening. It is too slow.
I also didn’t like how the relationship between Arya and Perry developed. I know they all have their responsibilities but it felt like they were an old couple without common interest anymore. It would have been fun to keep, for once, an healthy and ideal relationship in a dystopian book.
Also, Roar? I know he is grieving and such but ?? Rossi did him so bad. He is all gloomy, depressed and angry but there was an easy solution to solve the last problem : talking. Communication guys. I just wanted to scream at Perry and Roar to talk to each other.
Well, I would have scream this to probably everyone in this book. There was a lot of talking but no talking at the same time. It was as if no one really listened to what was happening. everyone will die but they are still people doubting every plan…
Even though there were things I didn’t like, it was still a great end to this serie. I liked the ending. I liked how Arya was angry and badass at the end. I liked the happy ending for everyone.
I still recommend it. It is different.
