OH. MY. GOD. 
 So much happened in this book! I won't spoil anything, especially since I was allowed to read this book before it came out but let me say that most of the series before was building up to what happened in this book. The HFL movement has really upped their game in harming The Others, and trying to "reclaim" what they believe is rightfully theirs. When they take it too far and cause irreparable damage, the Elders decide to take things into their own hands. And the HFL members are not the only ones who will suffer. 
 Then there was that ending!!! The development in Meg's and Simon's relationship has sooooo painfully slow. Now, that is not a bad seeing how Simon is a Wolf and Meg is so innocent and inexperienced and ignorant in "normal" day to day things. Not to mention that she has suffered bad experiences with men while being in the Controller's compound. HOWEVER!!!! **commence the drum roll please** THERE IS NEW DEVELOPMENT! Literally in the VERY last chapter, Meg "sees" something that has her thinking about her relationship with Simon. And the book ends with her and Simon...alone...sleeping on a blanket after fulfilling a "request" of Meg's. (Get your mind out of the gutter guys!) Meg is still really unsure of how things will work out and Simon is confused by the meaning/significance behind her request. I need the next book and this one isn't even officially out yet!!
