by Marie Lu This will be the shortest review ever, but I honestly can’t even remember what the book was about. The moment I finished the last page, all of it was just gone. I think this book was a terrible ending to a terrible series. Totally forgettable and a waste of time. Sorry.

by Marie Lu I only read this because I had bought the whole trilogy in a box set. I didn’t like the first one (it was simply ok), but this was a real fight to read. I didn’t feel any connection to the characters, not their story or the plot. The writing isn’t bad though, it’s just that the story doesn’t work for me at all. I read it in the end of 2014 and today, about 6 months later, when I am writing this, I don’t even remember what it was about. That’s the kind of impact it had on me.

by Marie Lu I probably had set my expectations too high when getting this book because I got very disappointed. Not only did I find the story to be slow and hard to keep track of, there were just not enough momentum to keep my interest. I forced myself to read it and struggled with completing at least one chapter each night. The book is also riddled with completely unnecessary parts that could easily have been deleted from the book. I mean seriously, what’s the point in having a 1000 word long scene describing the main characters dream and then ending it with something in the line of: “and then I woke up and don’t remember a thing”? Then whyyyy did I have to read about it? It doesn’t do anything to the story, nor to the characters development, it’s just rambling. There were good parts in it for sure and it’s definitely not the worst I have read, but I just can’t see the hype and the praise it got.
