I felt disappointed with this ending. It felt like the author kept changing her mind on where the story was going, like it would head in one direction and she would abruptly switch to another one. First was the rebellion, with Eve's failed attempt of murder, then Eve was on the run, heading back to Califia, then she suddenly decides to go back to the City. It felt choppy, not well transitioned. A lot was underdeveloped, as well. First Eve's relationship with Charles, which is confusing and doesn't get better throughout the story. At all. Then there is bringing the girls from the school, a last minute decision that really was strange considering Eve returned to the City anyways. Then Pip abruptly dies. Then the King dies, the rebels win, and nothing is resolved. Caleb is apparently alive, the dugout boys are presumed dead, the girls have been saved, the City is still uneasy, no ones in charge, suddenly Arden is there, and what did having Eve be pregnant do for the story at all? Not as good as the first book by a long shot
