A good end to the trilogy. Initially I feared it would be a bit like the second book, with too many threads and not enough room to breathe. And I do think some of it could either have been cut or given more pages to explain. Maybe that's a problem of it being YA, as it would have benefitted from being longer, and also I think character reactions/decisions may have been a bit more believable with age. 

However, there is a beauty to the story and its message (even in the midst of such violence and brutality). I loved how the threads came together, and you truly care for the characters. Let's all dream big!
