3.0

This book was just like all the other selection books, objectively not very good but greatly entertaining. But that ending was so unsatisfying. It was supposed to be emotional but really it was just bleak. As soon as the politics began to be more interesting, nothing became of it.

the act 3 break up was so unnecessary and easily could have been avoided.

That part honestly put me in a reading slump. All and all, if you’re looking for no-thoughts-head-empty type of entertainment this series is certainly it, but be prepared for a most disappointing end.

Whew, what a wild ride...
It feels weird, like there happened too much in the last few chapters and then on the other hand not enough. Where's the explanations for nearly everything that happened in the end?

What did the rebels want to achieve with that last attack? August and Georgia? Why was America's father a rebel? Why the deaths in the end?

This review sums up everything I'd say about this book.
