Actual rating: 3.5 
 In the After was one of my favourite books from last year, so obviously I was super eager to read the sequel and conclusion to the duology, especially after that killer ending. 
 In the End was just as action packed as its predecessor. The setting shifted from New Hope to Fort Black, a prison turned survival colony, that's home to some of the darkest characters this series has ever seen. 
 I loved how headstrong Amy stayed in this sequel. She's one of the strongest heroines I've read about. She doesn't take shit from anyone and romance takes a backseat to her priorities. Her impulsive decisions were questionable sometimes as they got her into trouble, but I understood her intentions behind them which was always to get back to Baby. This time around, a more emotional side is shown of Amy as well. She's been through a hell of a lot and it's built to a point where all of the death and destruction just boils over. 
 I knew this was going to be a conclusion, but I felt everything wrapped up so quickly and pretty simply, so the ending felt kind of rushed. At the climax, I saw how little pages there were left and was trying to wrap my head around how everything would end. For how much actions there were between the two books, I was a bit disappointed for how much the ending lacked. It wrapped up pretty well but I felt there could have been more to it. 
 Also, there was a serious lack of Baby. I loved how in the first book, there was a split of Amy's perspective that covered two time periods. It really built up the tension of the book and covered a lot of ground. It would've been interesting to see that maybe used to show more of what was going on with Baby. 
 Overall, a very solid series that I fell in love with. I can't wait for what else Demetria Lunetta plans to write!
