Well, the shit just hit the fan. It is on!
The tension in the beginning of this book is enormous, also so much well written action!
Is there a movie script yet? Wow! Why don't I know that stuff and why did/does it take me so long before I jump onto the bandwagon with some popular/hyped books.
This book was messing with my emotions, one moment I felt like bursting into tears, the next I am laughing out loud, almost hysterical. Good thing Horizon doesn't know who I am... Next moment, on the edge of paranoid.
Story: 3.5/5 Quiet different from the other 2 books.
Characters: 4,5/5
Writing: 4/5
Reread: Yes.

Well, this was one hell of a wide ride. I didn't see that ending coming at all.
Mara needs to escape from the Horizons and find answers to her questions. Most revolving around Noah's current location and the answers she's been asking since book one, what the hell is she! as well as the limitations of her abilities.
This story was fascinating and insightful, i learnt a lot about psychology and the human mind throughout this series. I loved the way it was so beautifully written and i loved that Mara learnt to be strong on her own, she owned her mistake and her success. I also loved how much Mara and Noah loved each other, how they complimented each other, how they were each others hope and ruin, their story was tragically beautiful.
I actually really loved all the characters in this series, they were well-rounded and they didn't bitch and whine more than necessary, in a way that i loathe so much in books. They all made the choices that were right for them.
Overall this book, this series was truly inspiring and amazing. I loved reading about the unbecoming, evolution and retribution of Mara Dyer.

Never have I ever been on the edge of my seat for so long, just waiting in suspense for the final answers. Michelle did an excellent job of making this entire series fast paced and exciting. She manages to keep readers guessing what's happening and what's about to happen. Retribution though, was by far the most exciting since all events from the previous two books came to a final, pulse racing, end (or beginning?). Even the epilogue had me turning the pages with sweaty palms fearing the end. Seriously, I came to the freaking epilogue and still wasn't sure how it would all turn out. Well done Michelle Hodkin, well done.
The foil stuff was a truly terrible explanation for everything. Basically nothing happened in this book, and the sex scene was awkward.
At least Jamie was great.

Plot synopsis
The epic conclusion to the 'Mara dyer' series; Mara wants answers and boy, does she get them.
Thoughts on the Book
The only thing that's stopping me from giving it five stars was the ending, all I'll say here is I felt that it was very 'Unmaraish' However I do like the fact that this series promotes self-acceptance, something that I feel a lot of teenagers need to be exposed to. I also like the fact that Hopkins gives Jude a very complex back story that encourages people not to judge others at face value
I loved the use of pop culture within this book as well as the use of philosophers such as Kant (Google it, the guy is really interesting).
Thoughts on the Series in General
I would recommend this series in general but i think it would be a great gateway to paranormal thrillers for teens!

This series has been consistently thrilling, page turning, and unpredictable throughout. Despite my cheating and reading the ending of the book when I started the first book, I still didn't know how it got to the ending so I had to read to the end of the series to find out what happened. I think the ending is just as cryptic as the entire story.
I went to a book signing with this author, my first, before this series ever came out and the story she told about what inspired the series was very eerie. A building collapse, a girl that survived who shouldn't have. Very similar. I don't know any more than that but they wanted Michelle Hodkin to help them. She was/is a lawyer. Now I don't know what transpired, but you know "there are more things on heaven and earth" than we will ever known. Very, very thought provoking.
I had to look and see what Michelle Hodkin was doing now or if she had pulled a "Twilight" on us. Nope, she's got a book in the works and I cannot wait for her to release it! This book was very technical but not in a gadget kind of way. The science of it had to be really thought out. And the way things circle back to the first book, the planning it took, I loved the planning and intelligence it assumes the reader has. It's definitely up there with a favorite series. The romance is not sickly sweet. And that ending, it is the beginning of something. Personally, I'd love another three books to see how Mara fares in this new life. Excellent reading!

"You are a girl, Mara. A girl blessed and cursed."
Unbelievably good. This one made my heart pound, my jaw drop and my heart hurt. There are so many surprises and turns and secrets revealed that I literally spent most of this book with my mouth open in shock.
This is it. The final conclusion. Mara and all the answers. Who survives and who doesn't and who needs to die for a greater good. Don't read any spoilers and don't get any hints.
Just let this one startle you. It's so worth it!!
And in the end, you never know who is the good guy and who is the bad. This book makes a great point. you can be given a good thing but make bad choices with it, and you can be given evil but still use it for good.
so here we are.
"It was just us. Two people and a choice."
Don't worry. I think you'll love it too.
