Thank you, Marissa Meyer, for proving that there can be an amazing YA series with a happy ending. Thank you for being responsible with your reader's hearts. This book was the perfect ending to one of the most masterfully done YA series to be published in modern times. 
 I cannot even express how sick and utterly tired I am of YA series that feel they need to self destruct at the end. Authors who think it's okay to lure readers in, to make them care for their characters over the course of YEARS... only to kill someone off, or to deliberately write an unhappy ending for the sake of a "twist." Like it's okay to do that. Ms. Meyer does none of these things. She treats us with the respect we deserve after investing years of our life reading, recommending, discussing, and wondering about her story. 
 Again, thank you Marissa Meyer for creating great characters, characters with flaws, people we can believe in. Thank you for the great story, taking us on an epic revolution, and finally allowing our hearts to rest at the end, making the emotional struggle and investment into this amazing story so worth it. 
 I will read ANYTHING else that Meyer writes. She is a top-notch writer, respects her audience, and doesn't toy with us at the end for shock-value. 
 That doesn't mean that there weren't twists and turns galore, there were! In each and every book in this series, I couldn't ever predict what was going to happen next. Nothing was easy. The struggle was real, man. Right up until the end, I didn't know if Cinder and Company would prevail. It was just glorious. I enjoyed the extra humor in this installment, those little bursts of laughter that helped to break up the intensity of the book. 
 Anyone who likes to read should read this series. I LOVED it. And it has a perfect, perfect ending. 
 It's been such a long time since I've written that about a series!!! And it feels GOOD!!!
