First of all, I'm just gonna start off by talking about how freaking gorgeous these covers are. This might literally be the most beautiful trilogy I have ever seen. Even if I had hated all the books with a burning passion, I would've kept them on my shelves to look pretty. 
 Now, for the actual book itself, I must say that I was both happy and a bit disappointed. 
 I had definitely expected to love it more than I did, but America was an infuriating character, and don't even get me started on Aspen. His physical description should have made me love him. He had all the traits of a fictional boyfriend. But once he started being all like "ugh I'm a man and I must be the one to support our family and I'm sad because my girlfriend earns more money than me" (totally a direct quote), I just... couldn't. 
 Now Maxon... He almost seems too good to be true, and that scares me, because if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. The whole book I was waiting for him to have a mental breakdown and do something crazy. Maybe confess he was gay, or that he was gonna run off with a maid or something. I don't know. 
 But he just felt too perfect, which made him feel kind of unreal. 
 But despite all this, it was still an enjoyable read. The rebels definitely made it more interesting, and the whole world was intriguing. 
 I would definitely recommend everybody to pick this up, but to bear in mind that the protagonist is really freaking annoying.
