• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I wish this wasn't the end of America and Maxon's love story and that books 4 and 5 were mainly about them as well, but I am happy with the ending of it. I do feel like the twist at the end felt a little rushed and I wish the book had continued for another 100-150 pages so the wrap up was smoother.

3.5

Good end to a nice story. As long as you take it for what it is, a classic YA dystopian, it's a really good time.

All of the mentions of violence are very brief, but there are allusions to death after violent acts.

2.0

I enjoyed the political bits, but that's it. I enjoyed Celeste's redemption arc more than America's character and lack of thought. I also hated that Aspen calls Anne 'rigid'-I know it probably wasn't meant this way but it seems to imply that she has to be open and sweet and stereotypically nice all the time.
