Well, it took me long enough to finish this book, though the book itself had nothing to do with that. I've been in an awful reading slump, but I'm hoping that finishing this will be the kick-starter to getting back on track with my regular reading schedule. 
 What can I say? Alex Bracken is a brilliant writer, that's for sure. So much action packed into each one of these books-it's unreal. We see the return of some loved characters, Chubs and Liam, and are introduced to some new ones, like Vida and Jude, who in Ruby's group now that she's an integral part of the Children's League. 
 I don't think I've ever been as infuriated by a character as I have been with Ruby. Almost every decision she makes causes me to want to rip my hair out and just SCREAM. I wanted to slap some sense into her throughout the entire book. I will say that the ending made up for my ill feelings, because "knockout" doesn't even begin to describe it. 
 This series has quickly become on elf my favorites; Bracken's storytelling is phenomenal, and the dystopian world she has created is creatively unparalleled, fast-paced, and filled to the brim with breathtaking action. I highly recommend this series, and can't wait to start the final installment!!
