I'm not sure how realistic the ending is and it probably went too long. Even with this extraneous ending, it didn't go too in-depth into the resolution of the main trauma that the book was focusing on. Felt like there was much more the characters needed to process in the extensive effects of that trauma.

Marie Lu created a world that is lovable but still flawed. She is one of the most amazing authors of this age.
