+Everything wraps up
+Interesting new character
+Picks up where Surviving ELE leaves off
+Quick with funny, light hearted moments
+Fitting happy ending...
The Bad & The Other:
-Plot hole and logic issues pop up
-Anti-climatic
-Continues their convenient lucky streak
-...perhaps TOO happy and perfect
It's exactly what you'd expect from the series. I don't know if it's me or if it was finally too much. My expectations might have been off as well. Everyone who's tagging it as a dystopian is wrong.
Previously I sped through these books but here I stopped halfway and left it for several days before continuing. It wraps up nice and neat, but it's very convenient and easy.
Which in part cause the climatic flop. Most of it is just how it resolves so there's no way to avoid it faceplanting. It was an option I listed either so it wasn't out of left field and just left me with “That's it?” disappointment.
It also doesn't help that there was no doubt it'd end happy. Everyone's together, paired off in couples and lived happily ever after. And Willow's ability to see the future....*sigh*. Mary Sue after all.
It's not bad but it feels like a bigger letdown due to how I loved the earlier installments. I'm glad I saw it to the end no matter what.
