3.75

3.75 stars for this book. I loved finally getting to the end of America and Maxon’s story. They didn’t exactly get the picture perfect “Happy Ever After”, but the did end up together. 

Having said all that, the ending of this book felt a little too convenient and it definitely felt rushed. The rest of the series seemed to dig into some pretty deep emotional moments and contexts. In this last book, there’s a bunch of trauma that happens in the last 50 pages or so, but none of it is given attention or is really discussed. It’s all just kind of tied up in a neat little bow, glazed over without any weight or consideration really given, so that the story could end. It seemed incongruous with the rest of the series, and it’s why my rating wasn’t higher for this particular book. Everything was wrapped up, there aren’t any loose ends, but I wish it was done it a better way.

What a beautiful way to end this journey America has gone on! Definitely my favorite book in the series! So many moments were devastating, and others so wonderful, but it all just made sense together! I loved every bit of it!

📖
Overall, I've had a good time re-reading this series. I think my nostalgia and fondness had increased my ratings. This was written for YA audience and I'm not the target audience. There are parts I liked and several that made me raise an eyebrow.
