I've never liked Aspen, so I thought this novella might change my opinion, but it didn't. He is constantly making assumptions about Maxon and his intentions, and America's love for him. it annoys me so, so much that he still pursued her even after he saw what happened to Marlee and Carter. you'd think if he really loved her, he wouldn't constantly put her in danger! it also seems like he dumbs America down a lot, thinking that she is weak and that he alone has to constantly save her. whereas Maxon is always pointing out how strong and brave she is. I'm so glad with how everything turned out at the end of this series :)
