This series is like a trashy reality show and I love it. It’s like the Bachelor, but in a castle.

While America irked me at times, I was ROOTING for her. I’m so glad she finally broke it off with Aspen because they were playing a dangerous game in the second book. Maxon was also a bit annoying at times in the sense that he kept telling America she was the one, but he wouldn’t say “I love you” and he kept leading Kriss on too. Honestly, this series would only be one book long if America and Maxon just communicated. I also feel like the ending was so rushed and the interesting plot twists had no effect on the storyline. 

Overall, I did enjoy this series, I just wish the ending was more thought out.

4.0

The pace of this book is a little off as it builds up the budding romance and conclusion of the main plot introduced in the first two books for the majority of the book just to close it all out rapidly towards the end, giving vague, unexpected solutions/answers to ongoing conflicts and subplots. However the overall story is still as heartwarming and endearing, with needed character highlights and encouraging changes strived for early on.

So freaking good!! I'm glad America finally got her crap together and Aspen wasn't just left hanging. The wrap up was phenomenal. Team Maxon forever!!!!

Every plot comes to a head as the rebellion and romance run rampant with questions, secrets revealed, side adventures beyond the palace walls, and a changing world. A fantastic, entertaining beloved book of the series, at its peak with all the best parts. And a perfect ending to the series that’s sure to have you on the edge of your seat, reading the entire book in a single day; laughing, crying, screaming, smiling, and feeling all the feels!

Gosh what an ending! Keira Cass knows what the book girlies want in a book boyfriend. The lack of communication gets a bit annoying, but I have to remind myself the main character is only 17. Still one of my favorite series! ♥️
