A perfect end to one of my favorite trilogies. I absolutely love the ending we get for Maxon and America, even with the tiny hiccups along the way.

Can we talk about the love letters? THE. LOVE. LETTERS. That is where I truly start to cry in earnest and I pretty much weep through the end of the book. What a beautiful, all-encompassing love story for these two.

And wow the way you heel turn on Celeste? Those scenes make me tear up every damn time. I love this series so much.

I could potentially knock this book for the character, in his entirety, of King Clarkson but I love the way the author uses the people of Illéa and Maxon as his foil to show that he truly is not the type of leader they want and/or deserve.

Wow, every page of this book is a worthwhile read and I’m so glad to have experienced it again. I absolutely adore a YA-dystopian fiction story and this one one-ups the Hunger Games by having a more romantic story at the center.
