What can I say but, what a series?! I was so involved with this series and especially this last book that I didn't have a clue what time it was, or what was going on around me because I felt like I was right there. I bit my nails the whole way through and nearly cried at the end. I'm rather saddened that it's over but boy did she do a good job. May I add, what a powerful underlying political statement she made. I was hesitant in the beginning because it was a little slow, the first 5-6 chapters. I realized later on that it was necessary and it made me appreciate everything she wrote. What I liked most about this series is that she kept it realistic in so many ways, in that way she made it easy to relate to the reader. A must read by all! You will not be disappointed. I normally stray from public opinion, every since the disaster that is Twilight, but I'm glad that I listened to others and read this series. It's one of my favorites now. I will tell you, knowing now that they are doing a film on it...they have a lot to live up to and better not fail the lovers of these books.
