This was a very funny book. I caught myself laughing quite a lot.
For me this was a great book to read and would recommend. It’s not a 5 stars because i thought there was something missing. Hope this helps!

I have read and reread this book three times. I still love it, but Aspen is an asshole and this is the hill I am willing to die on. Maxon can be kinda thick too.

This was awful and I can’t believe I finished it. America Singer (what an awful name) is a great value Katniss without being a badass. She’s extremely “not like other girls.” The book is just crammed full of every basic romance trope the author could think of, and not one is used well. Also, the writing is flat-out bad. There was nothing redeemable about this book. 

If you are thinking about listening to it instead of reading, don’t. The narrator is also bad.

I remembered when this book released and hold this series had on me. This was among my favorite series. 

Having re-read this book, I will say that I hold some fondness for this series and the characters. 

This book was alright. I think fondness has me rating it three stars. The characters weren't bad, but they were a little flat. The relationships were basic and the love triangle had me rolling my eyes. The writing style was a struggle stay engaged with. The plot was basic and predictable, and fondness helped me read the book in an afternoon.

forgot how much i eat up this type of book, like go fight for that mans hand in marriage!
America as a main character gives me absolutely nothing but i love that she rips into what is obviously going to be her future man because me too! #twinning
the only thing holding this back from probably what is actually a 4.5 star review is the rotten pacing which takes hold as soon as America leaves her home town and  arrives at the palace and (spoilers about the relationship btw dont click)
her dickhead ex boyfriend comes back into the fray right at the end and thinks he has a right to America's existence as a whole.

otherwise this book is really as i remember it, slay!
