I feel similarly about this book as I did about the first in the series. I would recommend it to the target audience, but my personal enjoyment was relatively low. This book suffers from what feels like dramatic character changes between installments and also trying to beat me over my head with a theme that somehow wasn't fully supported in the final act. But the world was still interesting and got even more rich (although often times in ways that felt like Thomas was checking off a list of questions fans had after the first book). I do love the characters despite the minor inconsistencies. This is a fine conclusion to the duology but simply not a series I will think of frequently.
