Okay so I think if I hadn't read this book when I was younger, I'd probably not like it as much. A lot of it doesn't make sense. The differences between the rebel groups are not explained at all and a lot of world building in that department is missing. At the end it didn't make any sense that the king didn't send America home, but still told her she is horrible and can't be queen. He could've just gotten rid of her?? 

To The love triangle is frustrating, even though I can kind of understand America and her indecisiveness. I liked Aspen for some time, but in the end he just felt like the loser who'd chose her no matter what.

I like that America has more self confidence, but in the end she regretted doing the presentation, which I didn't understand. She was so determined and it wasn't like she didn't have enough time to think about the consequences. For her to bring Gregory's book was beyond stupid and didn't make any sense. She wouldn't have been that delusional?

Well in the end, I have to say that I still enjoyed it. I loved it as a teenager and I think for the age group of 12-15 it's probably flawless, so I won't judge. I will also reread the last one! :D

I really liked it!!

Even tho love the characters I’m so irritated with several of them

because America can’t choose If she wants Aspen or Maxon (I vote for Maxon). Maxon is suddenly giving the other girls attention after he have promised America a lot of stuff. Aspen is trying to mess with America’s head by manipulating her to think that Maxon is fake, I don’t know if I should believe him or not. I’m really glad tho that Marlee wasn’t being fake to America<3

I absolutely hate the king but I love the queen!
Celeste is so irritating. 

Despite all of the things that annoys me I really really like the book, it was easily read and still very interesting!
