WHAT AN ENDING!! This book was the perfect ending to this series, this book satisfied all of my needs. The overall series was alright, for me a little mediocre but still amazing. I love how much we've seen Nova grow throughout the series and her constant internal struggles with where she stands. It was also great to see how far Nova and Adrian came into their relationship, ALSO, thank god Oscar finally kissed Ruby they are amazing. I appreciate how the reader feels a deep connection with every character, from the Puppeteer to Captain Chromium, but still know and be interested in the two main characters story. My one falter of this book were the first 100-150 pages were quite boring and I wished Marissa titled which chapter is in whos perspective. It was quite confusing to differentiate between Nova and Adrian's chapters. Overall, this series was enjoyable and the ending of the last book was truly breathtaking.

I almost don't know what to say except wow. This is definitely the best book in the series, and I loved the other two books a lot. But this one was surprisingly and refreshingly fast paced in comparison to the other two, even more action packed, and the characters and world even more interesting than ever. The mysteries I wanted answered for so long finally got answered, and this book, even more than the second one, makes me regret being so critical of the first book's ending, because although I still think it wasn't foreshadowed enough, it paid off here for sure. I just can't believe that

Callum is dead

and I'm gonna need to search for a fanfic to change that asap! Not because I think of it as a problem, in fact it fits incredibly well and made a lot of sense, but it's just so painful! Also, was the ending with

Oscar/Ruby, Nova/Adrian, and Danna/Narcissa 

paired up on the float implying what I think it was, because... that's another thing I'm gonna need some fics about, omg. And the epilogue!! Ugh, what a good book. I only wish some things had been fleshed out a bit more and I'm surprised they weren't, with the books being so long. But that definitely doesn't outweigh the things that I loved. I wish I could read more of this universe, and hey, the epilogue does seem to leave room for that...

 I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't *love* the ending, but regardless, I did really like the whole series, and even the bits of the ending I thought I wasn't going to like worked well enough when it all came together. 

 Overall, I feel like this series had potential to be the most amazing thing ever that I recommended to everyone I know, but fell short to *merely* be a very enjoyable read that I'd be happy to re-read a few times. Not bad at all, and still recommended for people who would enjoy YA superhero type stories.
