In fact: not a lot of changes with this volume: Defiant attacks, Gregory Illea, Aspen vs. Maxon (it's a bit heavy). But back in the history of Aspen :) But better we learn to know the characters: personnalités..choc with Celeste (it is horrible!). Maxon has a 2nd choice if America refuses to be princess and she becomes jealous! Surprise with Marlee and the king. The last book promises to be full of surprises! ;) Waiting for 1 year there is time to make our own choices. If you were in the place of America: Aspen or Maxon
