Some strange themes, but a powerful story and good for a day like today.

somehow this managed to be better than the second book but not by a lot. another complete SLOG like dear lord these people have no idea how to communicate and should not have gotten married i’ll say that much. HATED the ending like why is there no conclusion to anything except the love triangle?? kriss and the dad and the announcer guy are all northern rebels for no reason like none of them even did anything!!! kiera cass might be the most brainless author of our time i hate to say but girl… you wrote 1000
pages worth of NOTHING. main themes of the series are america is not like other girls and caste systems are bad???? i genuinely think this series made my brain smoother and i am shocked to learn there are people out there who not only enjoyed this series but thought it was good??? genuinely feel bad for those people like i get enjoying a trashy corny book but this…? i’m just flabbergasted.

Just like the other books, this one was good. The author sprinkles in bits of action. I was getting frustrated with America this time around. I loved the things she was doing other then the way she was with aspen and maxon. She was the character that mad me want to tear my eyes out with how dumb she was being. Finally in the end her sister is the one to finally get her to tell maxon how she feels and aspen as well. Thank god for aspen telling America he didn’t want to be with her anymore.
I love how things turned out with Celeste minus her death at the end. Getting shot in the head is a hard way to go for her. I’m also disappointed the queen died as well. The king I’m happy about but not the queen. I also hate how the book ended with not knowing how things with the northern and southern rebels were playing out. Hopefully that is addressed in the next book.

I feel like The One suffers from "third book syndrome". I know there are a few novellas and two more sequels, but I feel like Cass intended to stop here, but was pushed on word/chapter/content count; everything felt like it really happened in the last 50 pages or so, ala Mockingjay or Allegiant. And it's not that things feel unresolved, I don't mind not seeing after Maxon and America's wedding; leaving it open allows the reader to believe whatever they want about Maxon's plans for Illéa going forward.
I'm glad that Clarkson is dead. But why did she need to kill Amberly as well? Is Anne the maid dead or run away or what? Will Kota end up in a hole where he belongs? Why give Celeste a redemption arc to just kill her off? Where are August and Georgia?
Anyway. I enjoyed the ending well enough. I don't know if I'll buy and read The Heir and The Crown but who knows.

It's like the author didn't know how to finish the book so she just killed off all the peripheral characters.
Stupid.
Stupid.

"Break my heart, break it a thousand times, it was only ever yours to break anyway" was the only good thing that ever came out of this book.

Ay noo, este libro me mantuvo llorando en la noche, es que la ternura que me dió la pareja final se queda corta, no quiero spoilear nada pero neta es una lectura súper ágil y adictiva que te hace no querer dejarla.
Y la verdad no hubiera querido dejar esta historia, es una lectura que me hace meterme totalmente en el este mundo y es que está lleno de drama y romance, tiene una formula muy adictiva que no entiendo como engancha tanto pero lo hace y sin duda espero encontrarme más libros así en mi vida.
