Review and My Thoughts *Spoilers*
This trilogy is without a doubt my favorite dystopian trilogy I have ever read. I gave each book a five out of five stars! Marie Lu really had my emotions all over the place in this book! There were parts where I felt like crying, parts where I felt like laughing and parts where I felt like throwing the book across the room. Did anyone else feel like that? Overall I really enjoyed this book and this trilogy as a whole, but a few parts I did not really like.
First off, I was super happy when Day woke up from his coma. I was thinking that him and June were going to be together finally and live long happy lives in the Republic, but when does trilogy ever end that good? We find of that Day lost his short term memory so he of course doesn't remember June. June doesn't want to remind him that she was the reason that his family was killed, so she acts as though she doesn't know him. At this point I was furious! Why can't a dystopian trilogy have a nice ending? They do end up rekindling their relationship 10 years later though which is a semi-good ending I guess. This memory loss ending does sound a bit like the Mockingjay ending though.
A section I really liked was when Day was shot and on the brink of death. This sounds morbid I know, but Day gets to see his mother! This section was so heart warming because Day never really got to say goodbye to his mother. This was a chance to kind of have closing about his mother's death. I was hoping that we would get to see John again though. I wanted to see Day and John's reaction/feelings about how John passed on.
Overall this trilogy was amazing! I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys fast paced action books or enjoys dystopian books. Another great thing about this trilogy is that there is no love triangle, which I'm sure frustrates us all.
