I enjoyed this, but not nearly as much as the first book. I still really love the plot, but America has to be one of the most annoying characters I've ever read, and that's why I can't find it in me to give this five stars. America is way too wishy washy. Something doesn't go her way, so she lashes put and attaches herself to whichever guy wasn't in the wrong in her eyes. She tells Maxon that she wants to leave, then when the time comes for it to happen, she says she wants to stay. She needs to make up her mind. Either she lets go of Maxon or she lets go of Aspen. But until she stops flip flopping around on who she's going to be with, I will continue to dislike her.
