We had to wait over two years between the release of the second and third books, so I was beyond anxious for the release. I'm curious to hear if Jacque died in her chair when Noah Shaw started speaking words of love en francais?Īfter reading the first two books in the series, this was one of my absolute favorite YA series. I loved how this ended! I was told what it was going to do by a few people, I think, before I got to read it, but it was still really cool how it played out.

Both of these books remind you, and Mara even talks about it toward the end of this one, that sometimes the villain is not all bad, and starts from a place of good intentions. This book also reminded me a bit of The Young Elites because with that book Marie Lu set up to write a story about a villain.

Thankfully, though, it was not all information dump and there was some good action as well. We spent the first two books being like, 'WHAT is going on?' and just finally got answers here. ('s hard to do this in a non-spoilery fashion.) This book reminded me a lot of Allegiant in that I felt there was a lot of information dump in this volume. Sometimes the situations that characters found themselves in seemed a little too coincidental, even though they weren't. gross stuff? There were d efinitely a few scenes that I had to skim over because if I read them (or listened to them) closely, I felt I would be sick imagining them. At the same time, though, I discovered I have a low threshold for. I was listening to the audiobook, but then HAD to know what was going to happen once I got closer to the end, so I abandoned the audio and read the last 100 pages. Honestly, I am not sure what to say about this book. Michelle and I at the Miami Book Fair in 2014 Loyalties are betrayed, guilt and innocence tangle, and fate and chance collide in this shocking conclusion to Mara Dyer’s story. She never had to imagine how far she would go for vengeance.

She doesn’t stop to think about where her quest for the truth might lead. Mara Dyer wants to believe there's more to the lies she’s been told.
