Ugh. That's pretty much it. I wanted so badly to love this series, and to be honest, I do appreciate the world Mr. Reeve creates. I appreciate his clean and experienced writing style as well. Its his insistence on having all of the "good" characters constantly walking around as naive as they can possibly be that is killing me. It seems that with this series, it doesn't matter what kind of experiences the characters go through, they are either permanently naive and bumbling around depending on

You have noooo idea how happy I am that this series is over and I dont have to torture myself any longer.There were so many mehhhh moments with this book that I dont want to overdo it but keep this short and sweet. So lets bring out the wonderful dot points! Was this even edited? Why are we still in their heads?!?! Annoying World building can no longer save this book like it did the last three Everything is tense but with no climax its a massive blue-balls moments Needed salt or some flavour

This was really a solid series overall. Some ups and downs, but the pros significantly far outweigh the cons in my mind. An imaginative and dark world, with very cool societal and technological concepts. As far as Young Adult Dystopian series go, I'm not sure why this one is glanced over for series I consider of significantly poorer quality(The movie didn't do it any justice or bring in any fans. Still mad about the little baby scar they gave Hester as well!).I think the main thing is that the

This was a hodge-podge - just a big mess of various threads, each eventually being resolved but not in any truly coherent or satisfying way. I can't think of one character that I liked. There were interesting predicaments, but I got no sense of the author's overall vision, and found many of his decisions to be detestable. I'm glad to be done with this series and will not consider the partner one (Fever Crumb).

Uhm......the book was okay. 1.) Hester struggling emotions were expressed over 4 books as she struggled to reconcile with her identity as Valemtines daughter.2.) Alot of action takes place with little to no details. I wish there was more details to add to the fast paced plot.3) one pro was similar character display of Pennyroyal. He is selfish and only cares for himself.

Overall, this series is probably closer to a 1* for me. It is sad for me to say that I am thankful to be finally finished with this series. It was fairly painful to read and I think it has ended pursuit of never DNFing any book I start.This version of a post apocalyptic world is very interesting to me, the world is imaginative, but the story begs to be written better. Characters were one dimensional, predictable, and hard to care about. Dialogue was extremely simple and cringe-worthy. It was a
