The dwellers and outsiders all trapped inside a cave together picking right back off from where book #2 left off. Roar has come back to camp with not-so good news of what Hess and Sable are up to. This time though Perry and Aria are going off on a mission together instead of Aria leaving with Roar. They've finally realized their relationship isn't something to hid in shame and they work best as a team. 
 Will they be able to defeat Sables men and safety escort all their people into the Still Blue?? 
 I loved this series so much for so many reasons. So much character development of all characters! Aria going from dweller to a strong outsider who was a force to be reckoned with. Perry being the stubborn blood kings brother to becoming a leader in his own rights. & the scenery and story line were something that you could easily get lost in. A book that when they said drums started pounding in the distance you could imagine them actually beating. 
 Below is the rambling of my thoughts while reading the series. If you haven't read the book seriously don't read because MAJOR spoilers.

 They're putting a lot of trust into Soren to fly their aircraft...I really hope that he doesn't betray them as Perry is thinking that he might. & Score Soren is a good guy! 
 OMG LORAN. HE'S HER DAD! What are the fucking odds that her father is a soldier of the enemy and she just happened to come across him in the outside world? A little off the edge for me but I like the twist. 
 Perry is riding in an aircraft with just Cinder and an auto-pilot. Oh my gosh what if they don't make it?! I don't want to lose both Cinder and Perry! 
 Fuck you Sable. Fuck you. You allowed knowing that Perry was in that ship alive still in that water to go under! Then you killed Perrys strongest Tide men to show your control. Fuck you. 
 Really Sable? You're kidding. You not only allow her love to die (without her knowing) and now you think you can win her over to be your queen? No. You've got to be KIDDING ME. But alas! Of course Aria would allow Roar and Soren free for them only to find Perry! Bring him back and slay the beast! I knew he wasn't dead. It wasn't emotional enough to be real. I would've cried if I'd felt that he was really gone. 
 Such a great ending to an amazing series.
