dark emotional sad medium-paced

Honestly, may take me a few days to figure out how I feel about this book/the ending or even know how to rate it..... But I'll probably come back at some point to update this rating and review.

This book tore me apart. I found myself audibly yelling at the characters as if I could change their minds. I threw the device I was reading on multiple times because I could not bear to continue on.  It hurt me in ways I cannot begin to understand and I will not be the same again for a long time. I don’t know if a book has ever made me feel so much, or ever will again. At the end, I found myself unable to stop crying and get over it. I grieved over every loss as if I truly knew the character because the incredible writing made me feel like I did. I also had moments of pure joy where I could not stop smiling and laughing. I cannot begin to express my emotions and grief. I will mourn these characters forever. My only critique is that sometimes the changing perspectives confused me, but other than that it was perfect. I was shocked multiple times and could not begin to wrap my head around the surprises. If you are looking for your heart to be filled, then ripped out then I beg you to pick up this book and don’t stop reading till it’s over. I am overwhelmed with emotion and I know you will be too.

It was extremely violent because it is a dystopian war, but the story line is worth enduring the blood if you can.

I actually think this broke me. There’s literally nothing else to say. This whole trilogy has been amazing and I’ve never loved a series more and now that it’s over I don’t really know what to do with myself. That’s really dramatic but it’s true. Every character is so carefully thought out and the plot is so layered but written so well that I was never confused and spent every moment just in awe of the world Veronica Roth created. I would recommend this to anyone, but bring tissues!
