What a fantastic ride it has been with this series. The first two books were amazing but this final book didn't satisfy me. It has many loose ends and the level of intensity went down by a landslide. To be honest, the first half of this book was really boring that I'm having second thoughts if I should still continue reading or just maybe read the summary on the internet. But thank goodness it started to pick up pace during the last 20 chapters. I didn't like how this series ended. I think it's highly flawed. I expected more answers at least, and a cure for the Flare.
I felt like James Dashner pulled off a “J.K. Rowling” because he killed most of the characters whom Thomas cared the most, with the exception of Brenda and Minho. Thomas didn't gain back his memories, thus their involvement with WICKED and the trials still remains a mystery (at least for me). I really wish the ending was more conclusive.
Okay, I'm starting to feel like my opinion is too biased so yeah, I might update this after I read The Kill Order. My opinion that's written here is true otherwise.
4.6
The final scene in this volume was kinda predictable haha. The cliffhanger was insane. Moving on to volume 3...NOW!
Actual Rating: 4.6
I'm sorry if I forgot to update my progress on this book but I've already finished this one like a week ago. Nevertheless, here's a quick review of what I think about this book:
The first chapter clearly picks up where Divergent left off. I love how Roth didn't put any time gaps between the two books so that's a really big “yay” for me. It's really hard to put down and I finished it in at least 3 hours because it never bored me and the story kept me begging for more after finishing a particular chapter. In fact, I enjoyed this one more than Divergent because it was really action-packed and had me always at the edge of my seat. It's ingenious, hilarious and yet heart-breaking - all at the same time.
However, the fact that they haven't revealed yet what's outside the fences got me really frustrated because I've been longing to know the secret behind those fences. But hey, there's still ALLEGIANT so maybe I can finally get the answers to my questions and confusions.
Overall, I would rate this book 4/5 stars. It's not really what you call a perfect sequel to a phenomenal start but I'm very precise that this series would never let us down with it's thrilling storyline.
OFF TO THE THIRD AND LAST BOOOOOOKKKKK!!!!!
