This book has lots of BIG REVEALS but I didnt feel like any of them had enough shock value. Not even the BIG ONE at the end. Didnt enjoy the POV changes and the political messages were poorly executed imho. The world building in this series is just not strong enough. 
 I did like the ending and Roth's choice of finishing. Bold choice that can't have been an easy one to make so I'll give her a star for not HEA it but yeah, not as good as it could have been I guess.
