I loved it. I normally don't read books, especially not in just a few days, but this series is way better than I thought. 

First of all, my main review to the series is under the last book of the trilogy.
Secondly, I liked this book a bit more than the third and way more than the first. I'm a big fan of Newt, in this book his character is more prominent and funny than in the others. Thomas is away from his group a lot, which kind of bothered me, but it makes sense for the plot. The ending was the only "confusing" part.

Spoiler

I just didn't like how Teresa is actually the bad guy, but actually not?

I still liked the book and giggled a lot. It didn't have as much of an emotional damage on me, as the last one did..
