I read the second book in December and once I remembered how much I  loved this series, I quickly wanted to pick up the third and final book so I did that as my last book in January. I can't say a ton about this one since it's the final book in the series, it would spoil everthing, but it was a great finale to this fun series. I appreciated that it wasn't afraid to make fun of the fact that the stor is about these young people being heros. There were twists and turns and I had a blast.

 Another book in the series, another new couple to get to know.

Unlike most series, the last book was my least favorite in this series and the 2nd book was my favorite. I know that I am in the minority on this opinion.

Asha and Rhys were a couple on Earth, but they got into a lot of trouble and were separated. Asha went to Kerenza IV and Rhys was sent to the BeiTech military. When they meet up again in the middle of this war sparks don't fly. Asha wants nothing to do with him and is just trying to help underground insurgency escape.

When Rhys sees Asha he is shooketh. He doesn't know how to feel and isn't sure why she's so upset. Then while on a regular patrol he witnesses one of the commanders shoot a little kid for being out after curfew trying to find food. Rhys cannot live with killing children for no reason. Then he finds out they eliminated anyone that wasn't essential, a little over 2,000 people. He begins to question everything he has been told.

At the same time we still have the ship Mao coming to assist. Kady & Ezra, Hannah & Nik, Ella, and of course AIDAN are on the way to save the day. Hannah is struggling with her grief, which was nice to see some reality added to the story.
