This was good. America was annoying during parts of it and I was annoyed at the constant use of redhead as a derogatory term, but otherwise I really enjoyed it! It made me feel a lot and I love Maxon. Still hate Aspen.

I enjoyed this book more compared to the first of the series. The odds were heightened and it felt like more was happening, especially near the end.

I found America to be slightly annoying at certain parts because of the way she was handling having a double romance however I’m glad that she seems to be making a clear choice now (which i hope she sticks to). 

The story is also getting more political with more focus on the rebels and the country as a whole. Overall I’m very excited to read the third book and see where Cass takes the story next.

If no written records of a historical event exist, then you gotta know that even the victors are ashamed of it…
