Clever way to make the last book of a trilogy work: leaving an open door at the end.
Lauren Oliver is probably one of my favourite authors for sure.
It was a treat reading the series.

I would have given this book five stars, except for the ending. I WAS SO UPSET! I wanted to know more. Did Raven definitely die? Why was the pregnancy not mentioned at all except for Raven and Alex's short stories? Did Tack know about it? Do Alex and Lena find each other again? Who does she choose? Does Fred die? How is her relationship with her mom? WHAT HAPPENS!!? So many questions, I felt like she was trying to be philosophical with the ending which was great but there were so many questions!

Me relei el primer libro para retomar y terminar esta saga, volvi a sentir el enganche de la primera vez que los lei. El segundo me parecio incluso tan bueno como el primero, enganchada desde las primeras páginas, pero este último ha sido una decepción total, siento que en este libro no ha pasado NADA. Las muertes de ciertos personajes son super gratuitas. ¿El final? WHATTTT? ufff super enfadada..

Meh. It wasn't terrible. The love trilogy was a bit of an eye-roller. I was relieved when I finally finished the book.

the ending seemed abrupt in my opinion - after three books it all just concluded with barely and satisfaction, the whole book i was waiting for something that never happened.

still, Lauren Oliver has a beautiful way of writing that made the series enjoyable

It was okay, but I was reminded of why I wasn't in a hurry to finish this series.

The third book really picked up, providing an excellent view into Hana's experiences in addition to Lena's. It did an excellent job moving between the two story lines, and creating some great closure to the trilogy

A satisfactory end to the series. Personally, however, I found I no longer cared for these characters. Perhaps if I had read all three books at once, I would feel differently.
