I eventually finished this series! Hurrah! I think I read Legend and Prodigy in quick succession about 2 years ago then just stopped, no idea why.

Anyway, I'm very glad I finished this series - it's a strong, well written, action filled, dystopian type story. I really enjoy Marie Lu's writing, I find it engaging, easy to read and fast paced. I also enjoy her characters, especially the contrast between Day and June throughout the series.

Unfortunately this particularly instalment didn't blow me away, like I would hope a series finale would. I thought it was a little flat and repetitive in places and I saw the ‘twist' at the end coming a mile off. I just knew she wouldn't let it tie up all nicely in a bow, there just had to be a final kick in a nuts!

All in all I did enjoy the series, it's a solid 4 star series for me and definitely worth a read if you like quick, action packed, dystopian type stories.
