For a 600 page book, this book was surprisingly not long enough. I would very much enjoy another book to this series, or just another book about Karou and Akiva and all the rest.As I've said with the last book, the characters were flawless. I love Ziri and Liraz, Zuzana and Mik, and of course, Karou and Akiva. Taylor writes some incredibly characters.She also did a great job with suspense. My curiousity over Eliza's story drove me insane. So many of the chapters ended with cliff-hangers and then tortured us with a chapter about a different character - which would also end in a cliff-hanger. It was a very difficult book to put down (which was unfortunate for me since I was busy and had to put it down).I loved that even after the war ended, the story was not over. There was a lot that Taylor wrapped up in the last hundred pages, acknowledging that life would still go on and there would still be struggles.Despite that, I'm not super thrilled with the last fifty pages. I was actually starting to get very worried, and almost even angry. Luckily Taylor was not nearly as cruel as I feared she would be, so I do forgive her some. But I'm also a bit mixed on what happened in the last fifty pages. It almost seemed unnecessary to me. I think the book actually would have been better without this odd, massive issue that she threw in. Especially because we don't see it resolved. Which is even more reason I want another book. I need a resolution to what she revealed. The open ending meant things could go well, or horribly, horribly wrong. And I really need to know. So I either need a new book, or this book without this annoying addition. (I'm sorry if people loved that part of the book. I didn't.)I still loved this series, and I'm hoping that my view of the ending will change, as my opinion on Mockingjay's ending has changed (I wasn't thrilled with Mockingjay the first time around either, but that's a different story). That ending has unfortunately tainted the book a bit for me... If the last fifty pages hadn't been included, I think the book would have flawless. I am still giving it five stars because I can't not give it five stars. I absolutely loved it up until that point. I'm just going to pretend the last fifty pages didn't happen. I hate to say it, but this series felt like "Back to the Future" trilogy for me (or at least my experience of it). Book 1 - perfect, wonderful, fabulous. Book 2 - different tangent, but still great. Book 3 - what happened? :( Don't get me wrong, the story is still good, and I did really want to know what happened - still a couple of good twists. However - there was a lot of wallowing - emotional wallowing - that took too long.
Do You like book Sueños De Dioses Y Monstruos (2014)?
I really enjoyed this trilogy - light, easy reading with an unusual storyline.

I felt this was drug on to long. Good story in it though.
