In this book, he definitely lost me after an actual discussion described in the book about how the biggest threat to the group is democracy? Hell no.
I’m really glad I did not buy physical copies of the trilogy, because that would’ve been a waste of both time and money.
Also, I can’t believe this book got even close to being nominated for an award award, much less to actually win one?? Rest just feels so goddamn wrong :/

I can't believe I waited a full month to finish this. I'm so regretful right now. Everything could've been fresh in my mind but in all the excitement I fear I've forgotten everything about the first half of this book. The whole trilogy blends together in this tornado of excitement in my mind. I really can't distinguish book from book or the chronology of anything. My friend asked me to explain the plot, because I couldn't keep my freakout at the ending to myself, and I did such a shit job. Maybe I really do need a break from this series.

Without spoilers, here's my general thoughts. Pierce Brown absolutely nailed writing complex characters. This series may have some of the best and most interesting/flawed/real characters I've ever experienced - which is wild because there's a lot of characters!
This book continues to have an amazing balance of action and politics. Things don't always go according to plan. I love having heroes and villains who are all incredibly intelligent and resourceful. There's never a point where I feel like our characters are being particiularly stupid or making dumb decisions just to move the plot along.
There are parts of this book that are slower but the grand finale blew my goddamn mind, and made me want to scream and cry and then still left me feeling better when it was all over.
Books rarely surprise me but this series did again and again.
I want to read the subsequent books but I am almost afraid to because, while this book definitely is open ended, I loved how it wrapped up.
