Wow, this book deals with some pretty heavy themes of nature and the philosophy of is it ok for humans to kill others. Like, i know the other books have serious themes in this one but damn this one just feels the most put together of them all. I know many people don't like Cassie all that much but she is honestly one of my favorites with her good soul that is just TOO good. 

Everything about this book was a blast and I really enjoy how this cycle of books is delving deeper into each person's psyche
