Yea I'm not really sure why I continued on with this book. The few things that I liked about the first book are nonexistent in this book. America was a character I could rally behind because she never forgot her roots and embraced her previous cast and used it to help her in the selection. Now she's nothing more than an insecure little girl who get's jealous about anything having to do with Aspen and Maxon. She is constantly running to one boy when the other upsets her. I just began to utterly dislike America. 
 I will say that I did like a bit of a closer look at the rebels. I like that America stirs up trouble for the king.
