One of the very best YA books I've ever read. Not just for young people, this trilogy is filled with magnificent women and heart-swelling moments. I loved it. Libba Bray is a genius. ( )

Excelente final, si es que pueden controlar el impulso de tirar el libro por la ventana ( )

Finally done!! I thought it was too long by about half, and the ending was kind of unsatisfying. The first book was the best. ( )

A bittersweet, but satisfying end to the trilogy.

There is a strong parallel between drugs/drug abuse and the magic that Gemma possesses. There are other themes explored, like self empowerment and self determination. Overall, it shows that you should question things and not just blindly follow because that's how it's always been done. ( )

I'd hoped that by this book, the heroines would start showing a little sense...a greater notion of themselves and the world around them. But despite promising hints in book 2, they've remained just as selfish, weak-willed, emotional, and wilfully ignorant as they were in book 1. I actually found myself rooting for the villain, because at least she had some notion of how to go about getting things done. Add 800 pages of ill-paced, rambling plot, too much of which involved rehashing the plots of the previous 2 books, and I'm not really sure how I managed to finish it. Pure stubbornness, I suspect. And the futile hope for a happy ending.... ( )
