Let's be honest for one sec here...THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SERIES. I loved these books so much and I'm a little disappointed that they are done. Something that I found a little odd was that I enjoyed the second book the most, then the first, then the third, if that makes any sense to you. Typically, for me, I enjoy the series most when I first start it and not nearly as much when I finish.
I'm not usually a fan of war and military topics, but I was surprised by my enjoyment with this. This gave me a great new perspective of dystopian governments and how they function.
Marie Lu did a fabulous job of writing the most jaw-dropping plot I've ever seen! I was so surprised with the plot twists; I wasn't expecting any of them! I was completely wrapped up in this series when I read it, I couldn't go a single day without longing for the book.
Finally, the relationships and angsty romances in these books almost had me in tears. I managed to hold in the tears. They weren't so much "sad" as they were bittersweet. I loved how the characters were strong enough to know when they needed to end things. They were constantly thinking of one another; being selfless. I actually look up to the characters for that.
Overall, AMAZING book. I recommend it to everyone!
