quotes

"Yes, you do. And it doesn't even matter, because I'm not putting on a show here, Heiress. I'm not playing at being overprotective or pretending that, for once in my life, I want to do the right thing. I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery—some things are too precious to gamble. This is who I want to be, for you."

"You make me see myself as a person who's capable of anything. I would jump out of a plane with you, snowboard down the side of a volcano with you, bet everything that I have on you—on us, against the world. You don't get to run off and take risks and expect me to stay behind in a gilded cage of your making. That isn't who you are, and it's not what I want. You, have always made me bold. You're the one who pushes me out of my comfort zone. You don't get to box me back in now."

A great conclusion to the inheritance games trilogy. The twists the turns were so amazing and unexpected

the fact that Toby’s daughter betrayed Toby and Avery and helped kidnap him

such a great read, even though I’m not sure how the next two books go in the series I can’t wait to read them

The series should have ended on the second book, at least. All I could think since the very first page was that the author was really scrapping the bottom of a barrel where the food was also slightly past expiration date. Maybe if this book wasn't part of this series I would have been slightly more tolerant. To b honest, at some points I just skipped full pagest to end the suffering sooner. I do appreciate that the author at least tried to pretend this all had been planned from the beggining but there are only so many places a story  that was already finished could go.
