The over-sexualization of teenagers was far too much for me. In all three books, there was too much sex/extreme romance for my taste, however, this one, I found, was mainly centered around sex and extreme romance. The book itself was alright, with plenty of diversity, and I enjoyed that one of the main characters used an exoskeleton in order to move around. I did find myself confused in some of the later chapters (around the last 100 pages) as to whose point of view and
time frame
it was.

I’VE BEEN SOBBING SINCE PAGE 402.

The character development in this book—and series—is fantastic. Tyler sheds his goldenboy persona but not his integrity and heroics. Scarlett proves herself to be more than just diplomatic. Kal…that’s spoilers, I think. Auri is…very powerful and is so open-minded. Finian is quick as a whip and I’m very proud of this fictional character. Zila does find happiness. Chooses happiness. 

And Saedii is cutthroat as ever. We don’t see her too much but a certain someone does. 

The story itself was great. I’m a big fan of stories that have an explosive climax. In fact, this whole book felt like one big climax. There was so much going on, so many plot twists, so many “oh WHAT” moments. I read it in two days because I just wanted to see what would happen next. 

For those of you worried, it is a happy ending. I don’t think that’s a spoiler. I just prefer to know before reading books what sort of ending it’ll be so I can prepare myself. Enjoy :)

A wonderful end to the series. It was exactly as I hoped, but also not at all like I imagined!

This book is made up of ANXIETY and EMOTIONS. I’m surprised I survived. (This book actually made me CRY!)

The final book in the series hinges on particular elements that are not normally my cup of tea, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. While things are chaotic, it tied together really well and gives a satisfying ending. I love every member of Squad 312, and this is a series I know I will reread. 

Contains:
-Trauma and abuse
-Language
-Violence
-Implied sexual content
