quotes

"Yes, you do. And it doesn't even matter, because I'm not putting on a show here, Heiress. I'm not playing at being overprotective or pretending that, for once in my life, I want to do the right thing. I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery—some things are too precious to gamble. This is who I want to be, for you."

"You make me see myself as a person who's capable of anything. I would jump out of a plane with you, snowboard down the side of a volcano with you, bet everything that I have on you—on us, against the world. You don't get to run off and take risks and expect me to stay behind in a gilded cage of your making. That isn't who you are, and it's not what I want. You, have always made me bold. You're the one who pushes me out of my comfort zone. You don't get to box me back in now."

A great conclusion to the inheritance games trilogy. The twists the turns were so amazing and unexpected
the fact that Toby’s daughter betrayed Toby and Avery and helped kidnap him
such a great read, even though I’m not sure how the next two books go in the series I can’t wait to read them

One of the best series I've read in my life. Incredible. 
I'm so so unbelievably sad it's over. I can't even.
