Ich habe das Buch in zwei Tagen beendet!! Wieder mal super spannend! Ich mag Celestine und Carrick total gerne. Eine perfekte ( ;) ) Mischung zwischen Spannung, Fantasy, Krieg und Liebe. Super Zwei-Teiler von Cecelia Ahern.

Initial thoughts: Wow, what a continuation from Flawed! The much anticipated sequel to Flawed shows us a different side of Celestine as she is put through a lot more, being thrust into complicated situations which much be solved with the dilemma of choosing yourself or saving the world.

~I received a copy from HarperCollins NZ and willingly reviewed it~
Celestine North is a wanted fugitive. Hiding in plain sight no longer works when one day, Whistleblowers show up unexpectedly and Celestine is forced to go on the run for real. Trust no one is the only way she'll survive, but that doesn't stop the hurt that comes from being betrayed by those thought to have better intentions.
Perfect isn't a tale of perfection, or a story where the main characters get off scot free. Celestine must fight for what she believes in, and when she is offered the choice of freedom she must hear out all the conditions before deciding whether she should accept. We see a little more of Carrick and Art, both their stories are resolved in this book.
There's a great plot spurring on Perfect, but I miss the cut-throat action of Flawed which is why I didn't give this book five stars. Of course I loved the high points of Perfect, but sometimes the plot got really boring and that is the only thing I disliked about Perfect. Judge Crevan seems less villainous but perhaps he shouldn't be.
A romance that irons out all its creases in order to be happy, a future in the free world... What more could you ask of Cecelia Ahern? Perfect brings us a conclusion of sorts to this duo about a defiant girl who dared to go against everything her society stood for and takes a stand for what she believes in even when her life is at stake. Cecelia Ahern is known for beautiful words, and Perfect certainly isn't an exception.

i read flawed in one sitting, i loved it so much. of course, perfect wasn’t disappointing in the slightest. i’m sad to see this duology end, but i’m also glad that it wasn’t dragged out like some series are, y’know?
i wasn’t a big fan of the romance in the first book. i didn’t like either love interests, and i felt that neither the romantic subplots nor the characters got the development the needed. they were just kinda there.
i love how perfect had a lot more action in it than flawed. it felt strange to read initially because i was expecting something like flawed and more on the contemporary side of the dystopian genre, not so brutal. it was a good change.
i loved celestine even more in perfect. she was more determined than before. she grew so much as a character, it’s hard not to like her. i wasn’t her biggest fan during the first book, but i’ve come to love her a lot over the 2 books. i’m a little disappointed with her sister – i’d expected more from her but i do like how she acted in the end. the family dynamic in this duology is amazing. many ya books seem to forget about family, especially the parents.
another thing i really enjoyed about perfect was the flow from book 1 to 2. i read these books back to back and it felt like one big story rather than two separate books.
the only thing that i didn’t like about this book is one of the last scenes that’s supposed to be empowering but came off more as self harm than anything. i won’t say what, for sake of spoilers, but i feel like the only one who’s felt this way towards the ending.
overall, perfect was a phenomenal read and a great ending to a series. i hope more people read this book, as i don’t see any hype for it (and flawed definitely deserves it).
