I think this was the best of all of them so far. You could really tell that this book was dystopian, and it kind of focused on other things besides the selection. Although the humor that was in The Selection wasn't there much. 
 America was still frustrating. I would start to liked her, and then she would do something that reminded me that I didn't. Marlee reminded me of Jessica from Twilight. (I'd pick Marlee over Jessica anytime though.) 
 And, the ending. Yes, the story said, "It won't be perfect, not all the time." Yet, I got a feeling that it was a happily ever after. It reminded me of the ending in Twilight (the end of the series). I did like the rebel fight though. (view spoiler)[ What happened to the queen left a sad taint on the rest of the story. The king: I'm not complaining, even though it felt somewhat convenient. (hide spoiler)] 
 I never got to see America tell Maxon about Aspen. (That scene where they screamed at each other and Maxon decided that America was going home didn't count) Which sucks, because I was really looking forward to Maxon's reaction. Oh, by the way, that guy who you threatened to send to New Asia? He was the one who broke up with me before I left for the selection. Also, one second Maxon was threatening to send America home, and next, they weren't mad at each other anymore. Did they magically resolve their problems, or what? Maxon and America have trust issues, but we never get to see the problems resolved.
