I'm flying through this series so fast I keep forgetting to mark the day that I start the next book haha! I'm going onto book The One right after this so I need to put it on my "currently reading" shelf asap ha. 
 This book wasn't the OMG SO AMAZING! Like the first one was. Toward the end of the first one I was so done with the toying of emotions and it only got worse in this book. I'd much rather see depth and arguments within one relationship rather than many. The love triangle has got to go and Mer needs to choose which guy SHE wants. If Maxon can weed out 36 girls to two that he really cares about Mer should be able to weed out one guy. That's probably my biggest flaw in this series. Though it does keep it interesting I'd just much rather see more depth to Mer and Maxon. 
 The girls. I'm really glad we got to see more of each side of the girls that are left. The only one I really saw into her character prior was Marlee and that was because she was her best-friend. I'm rooting more on Kriss AND Mer now rather than just Mer. As far as Celeste goes I just want to strangle that girl more and more every book. Seeing the use of each girl staying in the running from both the King and Maxon's side really helps though get a grasp. Though there's only one girl really that both Maxon and the King are both rooting for (oops?). 
 I'm really proud of how strong America comes off, but they show how fragile she is and that she is a young girl still. Her emotions drive her but she has such a passion for everything she stands for. She's rash to make decisions, but the decisions she makes were always in her heart. I really hope that she learns to bite her tongue and be more secretive about the changes she's trying to make in the country. She's already become the Hope and inspiration of thousands across the country and deserves the right to be a One.
