When I started reading this I had high hopes of a great read as I loved the first one. If I am honest though I found the book a bit disappointing.
Generally it was a good read but just found the conclusion to the series to be bit dull and not very gripping

The first book was pretty good - it certainly didn't deserve the kick back it got from people who barely skim read it. This was a better book in terms of structure. As well as Cyra and Akos, there are two new viewpoint characters, a good choice since Roth cannot write male pov for toffee. The pacing still plods but not as badly as the first book.. I find the world building slightly better developed in this book. While I am not fussed about the romantic subplot I thought it was well handled here and the main plot came to a satisfying close. I don't think Roth will ever hit the jack pot of story telling like she did with Divergent, but this is pretty good.
