America finally starts to grow a pair again!! I like that she's finally jut going for one guy. No more flip flopping every other day! Finally, we start to focus on the rebels like we should have been all along. (view spoiler)[ America takes a proactive role in connecting the Italians and the Northern Rebels. And when she gave all her jewelry to pay the prisoner's debt to the king... what a badass bitch! (hide spoiler)] 
 I feel like the end was somewhat rushed. Like they just threw all the loose threads all together all at once. (view spoiler)[ The inevitable revel about Aspen and America. The obvious break up between America and Maxon, the reuniting, and a final rebel attack just to spice it up! (hide spoiler)] The events were all significant but I didn't really feel like they had room to breathe which caused them to feel somewhat... artificial? 
 I liked that the girls all seemed to really form some real friendships. (view spoiler)[ Celeste was a nice turn around. We finally get to know and love the real her and then she gets killed off in a rebel attack! Heartbreaking! (hide spoiler)] 
 I enjoyed the HEA. It felt like it ended the way it always should have. This trilogy wasn't Pulitzer Prize material but was just interesting enough to keep me going until the end.
