When I saw those books in a Facebook group (where they were offered way too expensive, so I bought them cheaper somewhere else) I couldn't know how much I would truly enjoy them. Yes, I know that I love sci-fi. I know that I love the more old school love stories in YA's. I know that I like it even more if this love story is doomed or made impossible from the start, but still. After finishing the second book I couldn't wait to read this third.
I have to admit that this book was a little less my thing that the previous two books. And that's not because the book was bad. On the contrary. The book was good. It had loads of action, there was constantly something going on and it was almost impossible to put the book down because both the characters and the readers didn't get the time to breathe, but it was too much of a space war book for me, which is the only kind of sci-fi I like less.
I already saw it coming. The build up was there. And although it was way too much fighting for my liking, I did enjoy that our heroes had to use their brain to win the fight. Eventually the war wasn't won by using violence or brute force. It was won by using knowledge and weaknesses. And once again, it's quite clear that Landers really thought well about everything and even though it's all fiction I truly believe her science!
Although the relationship between our two heroes is less rocky in this book, I liked how Landers managed to make it feel real. They didn't have this perfect relationship, where there were never any issues or problems. They had their fights, they had their moments of misunderstanding, they had to learn how to live together, how to work together. And I really enjoyed watching them grow and learn and become an even better couple at the end of the book.

I read the first two in this series in less than a week. Loved them! This series, however, should have been a duology. I have been trying to read the third book for nearly 3 weeks and though I have 60 pages left, I'm struggling to stay motivated. It seems rather pointless and not necessary to the story. Landers writing is beautiful but did this series need to be stretched this far? I think not.

A very cheesy ending to a very tween series!!!!! Too good to be true, but what do you expect? This finale was much better than the previous installment, and it was a fun read with lots of action. Not quite good enough to be a 3/5, but not average enough to be a 2/5!

3.75 stars. Not quite good enough for 4, but better than 3
Solid conclusion to the series, but a bit short. I think making this series into a dualogy with longer books would have been better instead of dragging it out. I had forgotten some details and this book did do a good job of reminding me of what I needed.
As a series, I found the books rather disjointed. I think the story line could have flowed better and been more cohesive. All in all not a bad series.

This was good not great. I can't put my finger on what it was exactly that held me back from loving this. This was a fast read, it was action packed, the action starts in the first 20 pages and continues right up until almost the very end, and it was full of sweet moments between Cara and Aelyx. I would definitely recommend all fans of the series read this because it was a satisfying end to the story it just didn't have the magic the other two books had.

I didn't love this like I had hoped. It was really good, because Aelyx and Cara have such a beautiful relationship, but it felt like it dragged a lot. Despite this being a smaller book, the plot just kept going on about things that I didn't particularly care about. The first fifty pages were the best part!
