This book was a lot slower than any of the other books in my opinion. It seemed that there was a whole lot of nothing going on. I did not love this book as much as the other two. I completely lost all love for Tally in this book. It was like she wasn't even the same character and she had no direction whatsoever. This book actually made me end up liking Shay a little bit more than usual. 
 The unexpected twist I did not see coming and I was utterly thrilled. It was probably the one thing I loved the most about this book. Then, Scott Westerfeld had to go and break my heart with that damn ending. An ending that did not feel like an ending at all. This book just left me sad and angry. I wanted to like Tally, but I lost hope in her purpose as a main character. I still enjoyed reading once I got about 100 pages in, but I'm very conflicted about this book.
