This book was slower than the first, not much in terms of plot development.

Ahhh...
So America really REALLY frustrated me in this book. She's so insensitive, selfish and indecisive. I enjoyed the story and I love Maxon. Aspen annoys me, because he keeps breaking rules to mess with America's head, pretending that he cares about her more than he cares about himself.
It was interesting to read about Gregory Illéa and what a narcissistic bastard he was. Finally getting to “meet” one of the rebels and seeing that not all of them were bloodthirsty savages was also very nice. It added more dimension to the whole story.
Marlee's story was so sad and beautiful at the same time.
The ending pleased me. I'm happy that America has finally decided to trust Maxon and actually fight for him and show him that she appreciates all that he's done for her. Because wow, that man has gone out of his way to make sure she's happy and she just threw everything away in a heartbeat.
I'm going to start “The One” very soon and I hope America decides to stay with Maxon. Aspen can marry Lucy and everyone would get their happily ever after.
