At times, the book really drags on uselessly, reminding you information you already know from previous chapters (or paragraphs even) and making the pacing way too slow. But I was really glad to come to the conclusion of the series and it was quite satisfying. I love these five teenagers and felt hurt for them. Richard Cole was my favorite character from book one right to the end. Chaos was a bit disappointing but I wasn't expecting much from him, and the structure of the last part was good enough for me to forgive it. I bought this book about 10 years ago and I finally read it. It was an impressive journey

Well I finally finished the series. I don't really like dystopia. This book reminded me why. Children saving the world with special powers is a favourite theme of mine but the end of The Villain was extremely anti-climatic. In fact, reading it, I couldn't figure out the logistics of what they did even with the suspension of belief so I just ignored it. I liked the parallels to Christianity, though.

It took me 8 long years to finally get around to reading this and only a week to read it. And I wasn’t let down so that’s a bonus.

definitely my favourite of the five, 10 year old me was upset that holly and Jamie never got together but its nice to read a series which doesn't have any romance subplots and is focused on the concept. I remembered the majority of the plot of the fifth book from when i read it 7 years ago compared to the other four.
