It makes me think something other than morality is at the root of what they’re up to.Īs always, Kristen Simmons characters are authentic, well-developed, and deep.

I also found some of the plot points unclear. It’s setting us for book three, but it didn’t leave me on the edge, counting down until the last book the way Catching Fire or Insurgent did. I also wasn’t wild about the ending, but only because it didn’t feel riveting enough.

It ‘s fast-paced, gripping, has plenty of angsty drama, and some really sweet and tender moments between Ember and Chase.
