I am re reviewing this 30th April 2018.
I don't think I gave this book enough credit the first time I read it. On the second reading I understand fully why the author tied off all the loose ends the way she did.
The main character in this book is America and while she is still having problems with both Aspen and Maxon. The greater problem through this book is the increased attacks from the rebel groups and the alliances she has to make. There is also the threat of the king who strongly disprove of Maxon choosing America and works actively to try and separate the couple. America also suffers some personal strife with her family at home and it makes her question everything she thinks she knows.
The most noteworthy secondary characters are Maxon, Aspen and the other girls left in the selection. Maxon is still juggling with the other girls despite us all knowing who the clear choice is and he withholds his feelings from America in some kind of game to get her to say 'I love you' first. Aspen is still a great friend to America but in this book we get to see him come into his own a little and we find out that there is a life for him after the selection and after America. The other girls in the selection are a great help and Celeste really is a standout character in this book for me because we get to see a softer side of her.
The storyline is excellent and I'm glad that I got to see the end of this selection end in a way that we were all hoping from the start. The paving is superb but it does take a second read to understand that all the ends are tied up in the perfect way.
5 stars
