This last one is 3.5 stars for during the book and 4 stars for the last 25%. It feels like nothing is happening, the whole book is a build up to what you think will be a huge explosion. She definitely delivers though.
I originally didn’t really like Leda. She normally is very whiny to me and always made HORRIBLE decisions but I like her and Watt together because he makes her less annoying. They seemed to steal the plot in this last book, but I’m ok with that!
Avery was a mess during this whole book. She’s so back and forth that i was just irritated. And i find it so weird that she found some random boring guy and like forced herself to fit into his lifestyle. Just bc you hate the way your life is doesn’t mean do the opposite. The author kept alluding to the fact that the parents knew but when they finally found out they seemed to have no idea, so it didn’t add up, BUT I think she recovered herself nicely at the end.
I’m upset they didn’t go deeper into Rylins story. Her sections had no substance it was literally just about cord and even then nothing happened for them until the last 25% and then all of a sudden it was like she was just another girl who gets upset over stupid things, which upset me because Cord and Rylin are my favorites.
Calliope needs to just leave. I hate that she wiggles her way into the story in the first place. You can tell she doesn’t belong in the plot at all.
ALSO SIDENOTE I HATE NADAV AND ELISE IS SO FUCKING SELFISH

I really loved how over the course of the series they kept repeating that quants were dangerous and i never even caught on that it was foreshadowing! The ending was perfect how she tied it all together. I was honestly so surprised with how it ended, but I’m super satisfied with it.

I was satisfied with the ending, it was perfect. But I can’t justify giving this book 5 stars because the book was pretty stretched out, repetitive and boring from the 20% mark to the 75% mark. I also feel like this was an opportunity to develop Brice to the fullest extent, but that opportunity wasn’t used. All I know is that he is sometimes a creep and sometimes a knight in shining armour. I really loved this trilogy, and will definitely be reading anything McGee puts out in the future.



UPDATE 09/12: OH MY LORD WHAT IS THIS WHY IS THIS SO GORGEOUS THIS COVER HAS DEFINITELY SATISFIED ALL MY NEEDS IN LIFE! My dream is to own all of these in hardcover. Ms. McGee PLEASE DO NOT EVER CHANGE YOUR COVER DESIGNER NOBODY CAN BEAT THIS.

I cannot wait for this cover reveal, I think it's going to satisfy all my needs in life.

kind of a really random ending.. first two were better

Yesss so good!!! A great conclusion to the series. Would definitely reread. The whole series is great.
I do feel like we could have had a little more closure at the end, but I’m still very happy with it.

2.5 stelle!

Il libro non è all'altezza dei precedenti.
Una trama inesistente in cui i cinque protagonisti vanno avanti con la loro narrazione senza comunicare con gli altri personaggi, sembrano più che altro cinque novelle.
Le scelte dei personaggi ripetitive con alcune avvenute precedentemente o altre fatte in questo libro, senza una vera crescita personale di molti.
La fine confusionaria e veloce, proprio non mi è piaciuta.
Nota positiva: lo stile di scrittura della scrittrice. È sempre bello e riesce a coinvolgerti nel libro, certe volte facendoti anche dimenticare alcuni dei difetti sopracitati. Leda e Watt sempre i miei preferiti, hanno dato un tocco in più alla storia, unico peccato la conclusione che non sembra tale.
In definitiva uno dei libri che più aspettavo che non è riuscito ad essere all'altezza di una storia ben scritta e forse è sconfinato un po' troppo nel trash.
