It was a great utopian fantasy type of series. However, I was not expecting it to continue as a young adult and wish that I knew that before I became hooked on the story. I always felt like it needed more. However, it was a great read and had a few interesting twists and turns that I didn’t see coming

4.0 out of 5 stars Defy me it did.

I really really wanted a five star rating. It pains me not to give it. But there are reasons I feel I cant ignore. I LOVE this series. I love this series so much that even if it was less than a five star review I would re read this book. I just wish it was less muddled.Things I loved:-The multiple points of view. Mostly because I didnt have anxiety wondering what was happening to my favorite peeps. Well most anyway.-The characters I've loved this the begining were true to themselves and even after a year they slipped into old roles.-Aaron, still love him and will always be one of my favorite things.-That we finally get some answers! It feels like forever since we really got new information, except for the last bit in book #4-Kenji, he doesnt disappoint. I just love him so he can like be in the corner stacking cans and talk about it the entire book and I'd be ok with him.Things I dont exactly like but didnt hate.-The multiple points of view- yes it was great but the story progressed so slowly because of it. It was informative but dragged.-I wanted more of the sister, no spoilers no worries. I just wish we had more of her than we got seeing as she was mentioned so so much in the last.-I'm still confused about the ending of last book, who did the illusion? Was there an illusion or did everyone just get drugged? Maybe I read the book so fast I missed it.-I feel detached from Juliette in this one and it's weird. Everyone is referring to her as Ella, even Juliette herself and after four books as Juliette, it's not something I can get used to. Which sucks because she's badass and now I feel like we're no longer friends. Like why you gotta do me like that. I thought we had something special.So yeah, really conflicted but still love this series and will reread this one as soon as I can get some sleep.
