Faye's Reviews > Shattered

Hmmmm, if I was being fair, I would'be given it a 3.8 stars rating and rounded it to four, but the ending just killed everything to me, so it's a 3.5 star rating rounded down. Whatever.

The whole book was pretty fabulous, but the ending just killed it. And the romance wasn't so great in general.

First off, this was much more engaging than the other two books. I don't know why. Maybe it's because the stakes were higher or something, but it was just more addictive. This world, with slating and everything is pretty cool. I'm not big on reading dystopian novels, but I like this one. Overall, I would say that it's a nice ending. So here comes the spoilery stuff:

(view spoiler)[So there's like a love triangle now, with Aiden and Ben. WHAT?????? I have no idea why Kyla/Rain/Riley still likes him. Like seriously. In the first book, their romance was just cute, in the second book, they only had like one scene together, and she still held onto hope, and in the final book, she only meets him at the end and she's all over him again, and even when he betrays her, she still ends up choosing him, the starcrossed lover, instead of the super awesome guy, Aiden, who loves her and cares for her. Actually really cares for her, unlike Ben who runs off at the end. Okay, maybe she does actually end up with Aiden at the end, since they hug and Ben is gone, but I thought that it was a total butthole thing to do to just drive away one day. Likes seriously. (hide spoiler)]

Also, introducing a love triangle in the final book??????????? So not cool.

Even with that, I loved the action and all the revelations and everything. But the romance (and the ending) just killed everything. And the ending was also predictable.
