This book is not released until April, I believe, so I will keep it brief. I was entertained. It was a good followup to Flawed. There was more romance and the love triangle was more prominent although it's pretty obvious what was going to happen in the end (in my view at least) so I could deal with it. There were a few times I got frustrated at Celestine and felt the drama factor was amped up a little too high. But, overall. it was done in an acceptable way and my issues are few. The pacing is ...more

A great ending to a great duology. I absolutely flew through this! My thoughts on this book are pretty much the same as my thoughts on book one, as this didn't so much feel like a sequel and more so felt like a continuation of Flawed, which I really enjoyed as it kept the story flowing brilliantly. I've not read many dystopians but after reading this duology, I'd definitely like to explore the genre more!!

She’s finally reunited with Carrick, who we haven’t heard even a word from over the course of the first book, but here, their romance finally has a chance to blossom.

This gets super twisty and complicated as Celestine has to decide how she wants to proceed with potentially damaging information against her ex-boyfriend’s father, the man who branded her, who also ...more

A perfect ending to a wonderful duology.

With the new knowledge that she holds the power of destroying The Guild, Celestine must learn who she can really trust, and figure out a plan to reverse her branding, and put a stop to discrimination against the flawed people.

I read the first book in this series (which if you have not read yet, go do that now) in a day. Perfect took me two days to read (even though I would have done it in one, if I had the time). It was full of action, filled with some wonderful character development, and it keeps you wanting more throughout the whole book.

The problem I had with Celestine in the first book, was that everyone (including Celestine) kept saying how smart and intelligent she is, but getting tricked by her classmates made me think otherwise. In this book, I was waiting for Celestine to make a mistake and prove to the reader, once again, that she's not as smart as she thinks she is. Fortunately, that did not happen in this book. I'm not saying that Celestine never messed up, but throughout the whole book she kept making back up plans incase her original plant went wrong. This was such a brilliant work of character development, you can really see Celestine becoming smarter, opening up to a side of her that she's never known before and embracing who she is now. I absolutely loved her as a main character. She was definitely Perfect in this book.

In this book, we see the love triangle come back into full play. With Carrick still madly in love with Celestine, he is desperately searching for her in order to reunite. Celestine is awaiting her reunion with Carrick, but she still thinks about Art (and yes he does come back into the story). While the romance in this book was really good at times, it could also get a tad annoying. It is very obvious who Celestine is going to end up with (at least it was for me), so the constant going back and forth was a bit over played in my opinion.

This book was so close to being the "Perfect" book for me, unfortunately because of two small reasons, I had to give this book 4/5 stars. First of all, the author created such a beautiful world and such an amazing story, it felt a bit rushed to read it all in two books. While I was happy that there was a ton of action to make the book hard to put down, I was also sad to see the series end so soon. I definitely would have enjoyed the series more if it was at least another book longer.
The second reason, is one that people will probably read and skip over without thinking, but it really hit home for me. For those of you who know me, you may know that I am currently doing my bachelor's of science in the department of microbiology. My project area of study, is focusing on antimicrobial resistance, especially when it comes to our vaccines. When Carrick's mother said that her and her husband used to be doctors, and they were branded for speaking out about the dangers of vaccination, my stomach dropped. I'm not sure which is worse, the author not doing her research on a controversial topic like this, or the author assuming it is something normal because so many non-credible sources are speaking out about this. As a scientist, I advise you to always do you research, and when you do, make sure its from credible-sources, not just some random people on the internet, or famous people without Ph.D's on the topic. I know its only a sentence, but it really hurt when I read it.

Overall, I still highly recommend this series to anyone who loves action packed, dystopian books. It is definitely for all the fans of The Hunger Games, and Divergent (minus the last book). I loved this duology so much, I sincerely wish that it would have been longer.

Happy Reading,
Aneta. ...more

Perfect is the second book in the YA dystopian duology by Cecilia Ahern.
The plot picks up a few days after the end of Flawed. The last time we saw Celestine she was running away from home and the judge. Now, she found temporary safety at her grandfathers farm. But she can't stay there forever. The whistleblowers, most importantly her former whistleblower Mary May, and the Guild still hunting her and she becomes more and more a symbol of resistance.

But she can't stay there forever. The whistleblowers, most importantly her former whistleblower Mary May, and the Guild still hunting her and she becomes more and more a symbol of resistance.
I really enjoyed the first book in this duology. I liked the premise of a society where a court judged and punished people's morality and how this could and was perverted. Unfortunately, the second book didn't fulfil my expectations of the first book... or more precisely it had a lot more problems than the first one.
I've seen many people accuse Ahern of building a love triangle between Celestine, Art, and Carrick and the insta-love between Celestine and Carrick. In the first book I defended her. To me the connection between Celestine and Carrick made sense and wasn't exactly pointing to love (though I'm not and idiot and it was pretty clear she was building them up to be the end game). But her wish to find him made sense to me outside of an infatuation. Unfortunately, in the second book this love story wasn't treated well. The love part was just suddenly there! It would have been perfectly fine to have that be a budding relationship and only bring them together in the last chapter or even between the last chapter and the epilogue. Instead, this time it actually did feel insta-lovy and slightly forced.
Art wasn't treated particularly great either. Not for a second did it occur to me he might hate Celestine, but that was the going narrative of the book/slash Celestine (remember this books is a first person narration by Celestine). That seemed nonsensical to me.
But those problems were minor in my opinion compared to the one huge problem I had. Everyone who read it will know what I mean. Let me just say: Screw balance!!! What kind of crap was that?! It was completely unnecessary for the plot and if you think it through it might even have played into the hands of the Guild! After all, she did what they were accusing her of! I get her decision not to get rid of her scars in the end, but that! That was just disgusting and highly, highly problematic not only plotwise. As it was, it had no consequence in the story and was just a shocking moment that made me really really angry!
What I did enjoy was how a lot of pieces that seemed random in the first book suddenly became important in this book. I enjoyed how Celestine wasn't actually some super powered heroine but just tried her best with the knowledge she had. I could identify with her decisions and actions really well (in consequence, the 'plot twist' in the end didn't surprise me at all. I would have been annoyed if it hadn't happened).
All in all I likely would have given this book a solid four stars if it wasn't for this one huge messed up scene! So, it's gonna be three stars. A quick read with a great premise that reminds us that we are all fallible and should be less judgemental. ...more

Perfect picks up where Flawed left off – Celestine is on the run after being branded as Flawed. Judge Crevan, the man who sentenced her to her five brands and gave her an illegal sixth brand, is determined to find her before she can tell anyone what he did to her. Celestine has to learn who she can trust and what it’s like to live as Flawed.

I think two books was the Perfect picks up where Flawed left off – Celestine is on the run after being branded as Flawed.

First, let me just say that I love the fact that Flawed was a duology and wasn’t dragged on and on like other series have been. I think two books was the perfect length for this story.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and loved the conclusion. There were some great friendships formed throughout the story, and I loved seeing those grow and develop. I also felt like Celestine was so smart throughout the book! She came up with her own plans and stayed one step ahead of people when it mattered. I felt like she really took a stand in this book, where in Flawed, she sort of wanted to keep her head down. Now, she knows that the Guild is in the wrong, and now she wants to stand up for herself and save her friends and family from being wrapped up in her problems. Celestine was able to inspire others and make them realize that the Flawed system is flawed itself, and she took on a lot of responsibility (and risk) to make that happen.

The one thing I didn’t love was the love triangle. I think it wasn’t necessary, since it was very clear from the first book that Celestine wanted to be with Carrick. I do like that Art was brought back, and I think it was mostly clear that Celestine wasn’t flip flopping between the two love interests, but I think it could have been wrapped up in a conversation between Art and Celestine that focused on their past and didn’t involve one of them wanting a future together.

All in all, I enjoyed the book and love the way everything was wrapped up. This was a 4 star book for me, and I’d recommend this series for any fans of dystopian books, The Hunger Games, or Divergent!

Besides that, the book is boring. I skimmed through unnecessary paragraphs (like the one where they explain how their carbon dioxide factory, or whatever it is, works...like why would I need to know that? We all know Celestine is too "perfect" to work there anyways so you're talking for nothing) and just read the dialogues, but those were often too cringey anyways. Celestine would say she "doesn't know how to lead them and what to say" and then the moment she steps on stage, or among her people, she suddenly has a speech prepared and makes "everybody emotional". I have no idea why anybody would want to follow her - she's a whiny teenager who knows nothing and can't even take care of herself. And of course everyone got their little HEA, even the bad guys...
