3/5stars

I definitely think this was an instance of "it's not the book - it's me."

I had been looking forward to this finale since I finished the second book last summer. I preordered it and began reading it the second I picked it up from my mailbox.
Unfortunately, I seem to be in a YA-reading slump. For months now, I haven't seemed to be able to read YA, and everytime I do I just can't seem to enjoy what I'm reading. I thought this book, because of my huge excitement and overall love for the series, would bring me out of this weird "not able to read young adult" funk I've been in - but it didn't.

This story was definitely interesting and I really loved the direction it went it.
The writing style was BEAUTIFUL, it flowed wonderfully and was even better than I remember the first two books being!
But, having to wait so long in between books made me forget MANY details, characters and events that happened earlier in the trilogy.
I was also unable to connect at all to any of the characters or their thoughts.

I do plan on giving this entire series a marathon-reread to fully enjoy it. But for now, I'm pretty "meh" about this last book.
