Ah, this series went out with quite a bang! I liked the first book. I really liked the second book. This, the final book? Best one yet. It was fast paced and full of action. The characters really had grown so much as they learned more about the story behind them, the stories that they had been denied for so long.
This is another review that I will be keeping short, because not only do I want to steer clear of spoilers from this book, but I want to try to make this as spoiler free for the whole series as I can. So much takes place during this series, yet the end of the trilogy just unfolded masterfully. There was a lot going on, but it never felt like too much. Everything seemed to have a purpose, leading toward the ultimate end.
Em of course goes through so much change, but so do even the most minor of characters. They're essentially finding out who they are every minute. I loved too that none of the characters were sugar coated- none were perfect, none were evil. Even Em, as a leader, still made her mistakes, was still aware of her flaws.
And every single question that I had, everything that confused me in the first and second book? No worries, the answers are coming. And some of them will blow your mind. This book, the plot, the development of the characters and relationships were all incredibly satisfying.
Bottom Line: This is hands down one of the strongest series finales I have read in a long time. So if you were waiting to see if it is worth starting this series? A resounding “hell yes”.
