Overall, this trilogy is fantastic, and I give it five stars. I’m really glad I finally took the time to read these books. If you haven’t read the trilogy yet and you enjoyed The Hunger Games movies or like dystopian stories, you should definitely give these books a try. It’s a fast-paced read with lots of action-packed scenes and lots of violence; just make sure to have tissues on hand. You will definitely need those tissues.
I re-read this book (April 2026) and still loved it as much as the first time. Ash and Janvier’s love story is one of my favorites. It’s an emotional one, so have tissues. I love how Janvier never gave up on Ash and was there for her when she told him the truth of why she was afraid to give him forever. Her backstory is a tearjerker. Their love story is epic, though, and is definitely a must-read.
“Eyes on me.” He runs his thumb over my bottom lip. “It’s just us. And I need to see every piece of you when you come apart.”
