What I liked:
- more interesting story and character development. I liked that the rebels started doing more than just attacking and that there were more interceptions with them.
- learning more about the king (he can suck a butt Forreal) and his relationship with maxon. I’m hoping to see more dive into the queen.
-maxon had more character development and stopped saying “my dear” thank goodness. His storyline with the other girls took a different twist than I expected. Some parts made me mad at him but at the end I understood where he was coming from
- will always love Marlee, Anne, May, and Lucy
- I liked Kriss’ and America’s budding friendship even if they were competitive and jealous (in a lovely polite way)
What I disliked:
- when will America stop jumping to conclusions instantly without just talking to people*sigh*
- when will America stop being the most indecisive and gullible human on the planet *double sigh*. I mean aspen is annoying so it’s an easy pick here
- again Aspen is so condescending. Like how dare you tell America she wouldn’t be a good princess. Uh okkaaaaaay. Need him to get gone
- the rebels attacking still felt a bit repetitive but much better than last book
I am sucked into this series now — if it hadn’t gotten better from last book I wouldn’t keep going, but even with annoying parts there was enough improvement to make me enjoy it enough. I’m hoping American stops being dumb and it improves even more.
