I have to say that after all this time I have a bigger appreciation for the third book than I did before. And it was sadder than I realised. Knowing what's going to happen. No matter how many times I read this, it's still amazing.

On one side this book's killing me! The ending always breaks my heart. It starts to break a long time beforeRe-read (12/2018): This is killing me. 🤯🌋💣
On one side this book's killing me! The ending always breaks my heart. It starts to break a long time before the end because I know what's coming. (view spoiler)[I'm not counting the fact that Mel faked her death. I hate the whole "she's dead but surprises! she's not. (hide spoiler)]
On one side, I love how cruel they still are. But on the other side, I think that the parent side of them changed them a bit. And I dislike Mel being a Governor because in a way it feels like she's going back on herself. It is not something that they would do, too many short strings that lead to them. They would just get someone to do the job for them.
The major problem I have with this book (or maybe whole series but it also continues in the Children of Vice series) is the really bad editing. And I do not even mean the typos (and there are typos don't get me wrong). I meant the fact that the consistency is non-existent in here. Previously I mentioned problems like Mel wearing a dress, suddenly trousers and then, magic, dress again. However, here and then in Children of Vice it gets even worse. When the previous book ended with the epilogue, it took time pretty much at the same time as A Bloody Kingdom. In the epilogue of the American Savages, we see Monte and Fedel waiting for Mel and Liam. But in here Melody mentions that Monte died a long time ago. And that's one of the things I really hate! And with every re-read of this series, I keep seeing more and more of these little misshaps. So, I think that there will be no re-read of this in a long time.
By the way, can I say that I do not like Coraline?
ORIGINAL: I am really torn on this one.
When the third book ended my first thought was that I cannot imagine Liam and Melody being old. With teenage kids, adult kids and then grandchildren. It wasn't them.
The thing I liked the most is that they're evil until the end. Still on top, still strong and playing the world.
At first, I sort of felt cheated. (view spoiler)[ Just saying that Monte and Jinx died that seemed cheap. They deserved much more. And Mel as a governor? I wasn't sure if that was really her. Like with the president she would get a puppet. (hide spoiler)]
I was torn on them being parents. Not sure if I like them being parents. Cause I loved them so much in the first book. Not really sure being parents is what I want from them. :D On one side they were amazing. They have so much love for their kids. But they also fear to lose them. (view spoiler)[ I understand why they started to train them to be strong and to survive. But that doesn't mean it did not break my heart a bit. Not for the kids. But for the pain, Liam and Mel had to be feeling. (hide spoiler)]
...there is a lot of blood in front of those hospital doors.
I wish there was more of a story for Fedel. He would deserve one. (view spoiler)[ Painfully loyal till the bitter end. He did not deserve to die this away! (hide spoiler)]
At first, since the chapter 24, I expected something to shatter their world. I could not stop crying. (view spoiler)[I was angry at her faking her death. This Melody in hiding? That wasn't her! (hide spoiler)]
And now, thinking about it I think it's brilliant. Sort of. I wanted her or both of them to die. In some epic was! Go up in flames and never to be forgotten! To be on top of the world. (view spoiler)[I still don't see them as two "older" people just having fun. (hide spoiler)]
I also wonder if at the end Liam also (view spoiler)[faked his death or simply passed the job and left. (hide spoiler)]
EDIT: I think this book of all four has the strongest ending. Minus like the last chapter. But since the chapter 24, I think it was one of the highest moments of the series, definitely emotionally highest because seriously, every time I get to chapter 24 until the last chapter (minus epilogue) I always cannot stop crying even though I already know how it ends!...more

I decided to read this after I read "the review from the author":My first book from Colleen Hoover even though I have several others on my bookshelf. I decided to read this after I read "the review from the author": Miles. Miles, Miles, Miles. Seven books I've successfully completed. Will? He didn't make me cry when I wrote him. Holder? Nope. No tears, here. Daniel? I might have pissed myself laughing. Ridge? Heart wrenching, soul-crushing. But dry eyes. Miles? Miles, Miles, Miles. He's making me bawl like a baby. (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)
It's not perfect; there are holes in the storyline... but the feelings. It reminded me of Before I Fall for some reason.
I enjoyed reading this one, however, I don't feel like I'll ever re-read this book or even think about it again. And despite enjoying it... I don't feel like I want to read the rest of the books by this author....more

To je tak šílený! :( Dřív jsem jakýkoliv díl z VA přečetla za jeden den. Dodnes si pamatuju, jak jsem se zažrala do pětky a přečetla jsem ji na jeden zátach. Ale teď, když jsem věděla, co mě na konci Stínem políbené čeká, tak jsem se nemohla dokopat k tomu, abych to dočetla! Pamatuji si, jaký to pro mě tehdá byl šok, vůbec jsem to nečekala a teď? Znovu mi to rozbilo srdce... :( Zvláštní, že jsem strašně chtěla, aby Rose byla s Adrianem, ale teď konečně vidím, že to mezi nimi nefunguje... :D Zvláštní, že mi to nikdy dřív nedošlo. :D Jak říkám: Jsem Team Adrian, ale k Rose patří Dimitrij. ;) Na konci mě překvapilo, že mi Lissa opět přišla strašně sebestředná. Zvykla si, že první je ona a až pak Rose. Byla naštvaná, to jsem chápala, ale nikdy se v průběhu nezajímala, co se s Rose doopravdy děje. A to s tím koho Rose miluje víc? Zajímalo by mě, co by řekla ona, kdyby přišlo na ni a Christiana. Opět musím konstatovat, že to bylo stejně skvělé jako poprvé, i když jiné v tom, že vím, co se tam stane.
EDIT: Až teď mi došlo, že v příštím díle bude Abe! Yes! :)...more
I wrote the whole review and then just deleted it by accident so I'll try to rewrite it. - The first time it was much better! I have so much to say anI wrote the whole review and then just deleted it by accident so I'll try to rewrite it. - The first time it was much better! I have so much to say and on the other had almost nothing. What I can say is that not everybody was happy about this book and the begging me neither but at the end, I found out that I have to love this book. ♥ And right now I just wish I could turn off my feelings. [image]
(view spoiler)[ At the begging I wasn't sure about the dual Tris/Four POV because they felt just same. Sometimes when I left in the middle of a chapter, I wasn't sure whose POV it is. But then when I got into it, there was no trouble at all. I just found out how to deal with it. [image]
Let's continue with our main heroes. Tris, she's strong, she decided that she's worth living. And that's good. Except for the point where she decided she knows the best: "I told you so" that was so annoying! I don't know why she said that because she did a lot of stupid things in Insurgent. But then she was strong, and adult with her decisions. I like her.
Then I thought of how strong I have become, how secure I feel with the person I now am, and how all along the way he has told me that I am brave, I am respected, I am loved and worth loving.
Four, he's different than in the first two books. Four without you is a much different person. He’s . . . Obsessive, explosive, insecure. . He made some stupid thing I supposed Tris would do. I almost forgot that he's older than Tris and the others. He seemed to me the same age as they are. When he goes through his fear landscape, and there is the part with Marcus I supposed that he's going to be like him. The man who abused his family. - Four is afraid of becoming his father that the way it's showed isn't the best one for me. I was afraid that he's not really able to bear it - all the losses that becoming someone else he could.
I love how Veronica Roth showed us their relationship. It's so real. They're in love, but they want it. They fight for their love. They want to be together; it's worth to them even the problems, the fights they have. They love each other.
every relationship having its problems.
It's not like something magical decided that they should be together - so there could be any problem - they choose to be together.
And the others: Caleb, since the first book I hated him, and I still do.
They say that if the sacrifice is the ultimate way for that person to show you that they love you, you should let them do it.
Uriah, why? No!!! No no no no no no no! Not you! I love you! Peter, well somehow I understand you. Wish you the happy life. Christina, I never found out who she really is. And I accept her, but I don't love her. Cara, sorry young lady, I still don't like you. I don't know about who else I should talk. Maybe Fours parents? But I don't really want to. Just one thing, if I should decide who I would give the memory serum, I would also choose Evelyn.
I thought that there's gonna be something else out of the city. This is not what I expected, but it has its logic. Everything we knew is different. It's explained to us - what divergent actually means. And it's different to what we were told in the first two books. Anyway, it makes sense.
[image]
This is the first book which made me cry since Delirium. I was crying, and I'm not ashamed. I was crying since Tris and Caleb were talking in the Lab. Somehow I felt what's going to happen. It's terribly sad, but I have to say that it's the right decision. Because not every story needs its happy ending.
Tris wants to live, she's in love, and finally, she may be happy. But at the end, she sees that there is no way Caleb may succeed, so she takes his place. She saved them. And I'm sad about it, but she did the right thing.
Can I be forgiven for all I’ve done to get here? I want to be. I can. I believe it.
She decided at the end, spontaneously. She knows what hers decisions going to make and she's willing to do it.
Our Tris - the strong one who is not a child anymore...She's not Beatrice. She'll be Tris, forever.
and then she stood before me, short and thin and plain and in all ways unremarkable—except that she had jumped first. The Stiff had jumped first.
[image]
I thought that in the end they were going to take the memory serum to forgot everything and start over again. And Four almost did, unless Christina he would do it.
“It is impossible to erase my choices.” He says at the begging, and he tries to do it. “I know she wouldn’t want you to erase her from your memory like she didn’t even matter to you!” I understand why he tried to do it, I really do, but I'm glad that Christina stopped him. Tris cannot be forgotten. By none of us - she's just fictional character, but she's showing to us who we should be - Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.
There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. But sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through the pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life. That is the sort of bravery I must have now.
The epilogue showed us one thing that we didn't lose only Tris but also Four who become Tobias. Since the start of epilogue, I felt like he's different than the strong boy/man we met in Divergent. He lived and lost too much, and that changed him. Took something from him.
I miss factions. I miss Tris. I miss Four. I'll miss this story. (hide spoiler)]
Thank you, Veronica Roth, for this amazing story. ♥ -Well, I fell like I forgot a lot of things I wrote into the first review if I'll found out something I forgot I'll describe it....more

PO tom, co jsem se vrátila z kina, jsem to musela znovu přečíst. :D Nešlo to jinak. Mrzí mě, že spoustu věcí z knihy vypustili, protože je to úžasné. Třeba jak vypráví o jiných planetách :) Ale překvapilo mě kolik je v knize překlepů. Už jsem to jednou četla, ale nějak jsem si to nepamatovala.
Teď si přesně nevybavím všechny případy, ale vím, že v jednom případě se tam bavili o Léčitelce, ale řekli Hledačka. Pak tam mluvil na Doktor s Jaredem a najednou oba mluvil v ženském rodě jakoby Jared byla žena. :D A pak si vybavuju, že na konci Wanda uvažuje o Žárlivosti a je tam napsané: Negativních nemocí místo emocí. Ale to je takový detail spíš k překladu než ke knize samé :) Jen se bojím číst ty další díly, protože si myslím, že ten konec je úžasný, takový jaký je :)...more

This, this is the right time to revisit your favourite books! It just feels like EDIT (17/03/2020): “It is such a mysterious place, the land of tears.”
This, this is the right time to revisit your favourite books! It just feels like meeting an old-time friend. Just what we all need at the moment! It really made me feel so happy to re-read this book again. I have limited time, and I try to focus on new books. And since we are asked to remain at home as much as possible, I thought this would be a great moment to re-read this book. The Little Prince will always remain my favourite!
“It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.”
EDIT (08/06/2018): "You understand... it is too far. I cannot carry this body with me. It is too heavy."
Whenever I read the Little Prince, I read it in the voice of my grandmother who used to read it to me when I was little. And now, it became our final goodbye.
"And at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens... they will all be your friends. And, besides, I am going to make you a present..." -------------
V téhle knize je něco úžasného, vždycky mě uchopí za srdce a ten konec mám sto chutí ořvat. A přitom je to tak jednoduchá kniha, ale je v ní takové pravdy! Jako malá jsem měla CD, kde příběh vypráví Jiřina Bohdalová, co já jsem se toho naposlouchala. A nakonci, jak je "výzva", že když se malý princ objeví, tak jí máme napsat. Tak kolik já jsem těch dopisů napsala, když jsem si hrála, mám pocit, že by se doma ještě daly najít.
Jedna z nejlepších knih. Neuvěřitelně smutná a o to víc krásná.

I'm still in a shock! Well, you cannot know what is the truth because Mara doesn't. This is my favourite element of this series, Mara tells the story, however, she is not a really reliable source. I fell in love with Noah even more, not sure how's that even possible! And, the end of the book? What the hell! and now I'm supposed to wait for the next one so long? Poor me. I have been years since I've read this book, but I can still remember the chills it gave me! It was simply fabulous, the dread which hit me the moment I tried to turn the page and it was just blank... Wow, speechless.
