Three

In this dystopian world created by Kristen Simmons, people are governed by the Statutes. They are rules of morality. If you don't follow the articles, you will be dealt with by the government. Imprisoned, beaten, broken and ultimately killed. Chase and Ember have been fighting with the resistance ever since she was taken in for rehabilitation for being the daughter of a single mother. They are headed for a safe house on the coast trying to find Three- the resistance group planning on overthrowing the government, Along the way, they are looking for Chase's uncle Jesse, who knows more about Three than he is letting on. Each of the fighters are risking their lives trying to find some way to be free of the government. Around every turn, traitors sell them out to get what they need. Chase and Ember find that no place is really safe and the fight they once were an integral part of is not what they want for their future. Their love is put to the ultimate test when Ember must break into a prison to same him before the resistance blows it up. People she trusted will betray her and those who have betrayed her in the past may turn out to be her greatest allies. This is a fitting conclusion to the trilogy. Is there a happy ending? I guess it's up to you to decide. I find myself hopeful for the future of these characters as they go off on their own in fictionland- a place I would someday like to visit (Will Herondale, I'm coming for you!) Happy reading my friends!
