** spoiler alert ** 
 I want to rate this book more like 3.5 stars. I have SOOOO, SO, SO, SO many mixed feeling & emotions on how things played out. I feel slighted in a way BUT, at the same time I understand how certain things played out the way they did (unlike some other ya books....*hint hint* Allegiant & even Mockingjay). I think I need time to really process what happened & maybe do a reread from book 1 to this book to really grasp what happened & why. I will say that this book & series is extremely well written. 
 On a separate spoiler note: when did it become the new thing to kill off the heroine & make her a martyr? Especially when it could've easily have been someone more expendable?
