I will admit it feels slow in the beginning especially with how the last book ended, but it better sets up and introduces us to Winter and makes her a main player in the story now. By a third into the book everything very much starts to pick up again and the story starts to hit the ground running.
I loved how the story line would mix and change POVs weaving people's stories together before once more diverging again. It really kept the pace fast and intrigue and urgency high, and it all came to an orchestrated ending for the book and series. Everything was tied up and concluded nicely but left moments open that could be looked into with the novellas.

Marissa Meyer brings all the various strands of her multiple POVs together, and beautifully so.
What I possibly love the most in this series are the four female main characters. Each one is so different, and yet, they accept each other in their differences & their handicaps and work together for what you could call within the story, the greater good.
The book is not a light read however, so it is worthwhile to check on content warnings, there are quite a few.
