This. This. This book is the climax the other books were reaching towards. They got so close, boy they really did, but this book nailed it. I say this after crying non stop for the last, oh, four chapters of the book. I'm actually sweating- does that normally happen? 
 This book man, I don't know where to start. The thing I loved most about the first book was the will to keep fighting and the innocence and the action, always the action. With the second book it was the integration of the Colonies, the explanation of how the world worked and the raw emotion that filled the pages. 
 This book had all of the above in spades but more. Everything was answered in this book. Everything was for a purpose (as much as war ever is).I've got to say, this book has the most satisfying ending it could possibly have. Anything else would be either too tragic, too unbelievable or just plain not right. 
 Far from being just pure adrenaline fuelled action (which there was still a lot of), this book was about growing up and making hard choices and trying to do the right thing which is why we love Day so god damn much! 
 June too though, I have to admit, I've had my ups and downs with her. Sometimes I have just down right disliked her- even at the beginning of this book, after everything- I got a few twinges of that. By the end though man, my heart ached for her pain. She earned my respect man. She found who she was and became someone everyone should be proud of. 
 I'm making myself weep again. 
 EDIT: Anyone who's read the book, I urge you to re-examine that cover. You see it? It's frickin genius.
