somehow this managed to be better than the second book but not by a lot. another complete SLOG like dear lord these people have no idea how to communicate and should not have gotten married i’ll say that much. HATED the ending like why is there no conclusion to anything except the love triangle?? kriss and the dad and the announcer guy are all northern rebels for no reason like none of them even did anything!!! kiera cass might be the most brainless author of our time i hate to say but girl… you wrote 1000
pages worth of NOTHING. main themes of the series are america is not like other girls and caste systems are bad???? i genuinely think this series made my brain smoother and i am shocked to learn there are people out there who not only enjoyed this series but thought it was good??? genuinely feel bad for those people like i get enjoying a trashy corny book but this…? i’m just flabbergasted.
