Glad that Maxon got a happy ending. Not a fan of America at all. There are some good qualities to her, but I don't know. She just doesn't seem like a strong heroine or anything to me. Glad that Celeste became a nicer person. Also glad that Aspen and Lucy got together. It was interesting to discover that America's father was a Nothern Rebel. Will probably read the next part to see if the new characters are appealing. ...more

That was kinda cute, a pretty satisfying ending for America's story, but I have no intention of continuing with this series.. It wasn't a bad one but I've had enough :X

And spoilers ahead..

***Actual rating: 3.5 ***
I was actually a bit dissapointed with this book. I loved the first two, and was eagerly anticipating the release of the third book in the series, but to be honest, it did not live up to my expectations. First of all, there was barely any romance/romantic scenes between any of the characters! It was ridiculous! Then I also was very unsatisfied with the ending. It felt like the author just took the easy way out will all of the major problems in the book. They seemed to be ...more

I'm happy with it~! It's just.....Elite left a huge impact on me. I was on high with the sweet moments but crushed my heart on the last half, I was in tears and depressed for days. It's one of the most hated book sequela ever I'm sure, but that's what made it to 5 stars for me~ It was so hateful, so intense, objectively the story was just perfect! So of course I was looking forward greatly to how they will go on after that....

This book started interestingly. We see Ames putting more effort, we g I'm happy with it~! It's just.....Elite left a huge impact on me.

So of course I was looking forward greatly to how they will go on after that....

This book started interestingly. We see Ames putting more effort, we get to know more about the girls and Maxon's side...it was all great and happy...then we get the usual misunderstandings and I do like how they resolve it after a few heartaches but that's just it, I didn't feel any~~

Now I don't wanna spoil anything but there were 4 'significant' deaths... And I think this is where I was less satisfied with...

First death came out of nowhere! O.o I didn't even feel anything! But secrets were revealed and we get more explanations of things so I guess that's fine...

Now the 2nd one what sooooo unnecessary!!! Like seriously???!!! After that character made a major turn-araound, you just killed *beep* for drama????? Probably the only moment where I teared up!!

3rd deathSSS were greatly hoped for no doubt, though the other one, not so much....but it was just convenient for the story...but I don't really have problem with that it's just that it was so easy...

Last death was even more a "huh??" moment! Toooo convenient and really??! If you're foreshadowing a couple why throw one character into the mix hoping to mislead readers which obviously isn't working and just kill *---* at the end so everybody ends up happy with no complications?? 0.o

Also I think it would've been better if that part in book 2 where they actually get to see the rebel like the curtseying @ the forest, happened in book 1 and half of the revelations in book 3 should've been gradually revealed in book 2 because I felt that everything was rushed and resolved so easily...like she just wanted to reveal everything and be done with it... *sigh*

I guess the problem was I had a whole year of excitement build up that the experience felt quite short... For those who've just finished Elite, reading this immediately might be awesome though~ so never mind me, just enjoy~! ...more
