Slightly better than the previous book, but only slightly. If only because it managed to sum up all the storylines, albeit quite rushed and coincidentally easy to resolve in the end. This series simply wasn't for me.

Didn't think I could come across a worse FMC than America, then along came Eadlyn. What is about this series that I'm not seeing? It's popular, yet I can't stand the main characters.

America has got the be the most infuriating FMC I've read yet!

America does not deserve to end up with Maxon, there I said it! I don't think I've ever not wanted a FMC to end up with MMC as much as I do with these books. Maxon deserves better!

Ehh, don't get me wrong, this was a good book... but there was just something during the whole story that just didn't click for me.
Could have been that the story was mostly told through Theo's persepctive, and I didn't enjoy that, BUT it was easy to read and the plot was intriguing. Just kind of lost it's way in the middle trying to spin off into a lot of little side plots, that in the end meant nothing.

The fact that this short story does more in 30 pages or so than an average book would take in about 10 times as many pages is not to be ignored.
Went into this having no idea where it would go. In the beginning, it seemed to be going in the direction of a social commentary on a blissful utopia, UNTIL the question posed towards the end.
You would like to think you'd be the one person that cannot accept the suffering of 1 citizen in exchange for the happiness of everyone else. But in reality, isn't that exactly what we do? Go through life ignoring the suffering of those select few that don't affect our daily lives. And in return, are we really rewarded with sincere happiness of Omelas? This is a downward spiral I don't think we're prepared to face.

The Markov brothers have a grip on my heart and I have no regrets! This series just got better and better as it went on. Ronan - a mafia man that plays candy crush?! What else do you need in life??
Can't compare this series with other dark or mafia romances, so I feel like I might have shot myself in the foot by starting with this series. But if this is the standard, I have no regrets!
