I'm going to overview the whole series;
Generally the series is pretty good. This book is much more fast paced and it's a little bit darker. Despite the dysoptian setting, it's easy listening and it's kept me entertained on drives and through cleaning.
I feel like Piltcher didn't really have a good enough character development to really be felt as the baddie. At times, I actually found myself understanding much more where he was coming from than Evan.
Wayward pines as a place lacked so much development that I didn't really view it as an awful place to be. Logically I can understand that but like, I would have loved more development so that when there are people saying they would rather be dead than keep living in Wayward pines as it was it would feel more believable.
Also, I often don't read writing from male authors because they right women so out of whack. In this book we have a FC,choosing the person who she loves more than the person who loves her the most . Classic male author really to over romantise the idea of a woman's love being the most self rewarding thing. It just fell flat.
Lots of death and like, you don't know anybody so you don't really care.
Also, it's just not believable. A whole town being built in 14 years?
So ye, I didn't dislike the book, would maybe even recommend it for light reading but its not anything super remarkable.

As I predicted in my review of the second book of the trilogy, I did not care for this one at all. This book consisted largely of a seemingly endless fight scene--not my cup of tea to begin with. I skimmed most of it. The first book was pretty good. The second book was mediocre, and this book provides an unbelievable and unsatisfying ending. Not in the top tier of post-apocalyptic sagas, and there are many more to choose from, so my advice is choose those.
Spoiler
This book reveals serious flaws with the whole Wayward Pines concept. Just to highlight a few: 1) The premise relies on the idea that humans devolve, in a mere 1800 years, to violent ape-like creatures incapable, apparently, of communication. Sorry. Evolution takes a lot longer than that. 2) The ending reveals that the people of Wayward Pines decided to put themselves back in the stasis chambers and wait in the hope that evolution will reverse the process at least to the point that the ape-like creatures, the "Abbies," will have developed civilization and will allow humans to live alongside them. Maybe. But they only wait 70,000 years, which is still nowhere near long enough for full-scale massive evolution to occur. 3) They place their hopes on this outcome based on the fact that they have released back into the wild ONE Abbie which seems to have the power of empathy. Very unlikely that that one will direct the evolution of the whole species. 4) The whole idea of 70,000 years begs the question that was already begged with the 1800-year initial stasis: what's powering the stasis machines?

A page turner for sure! I finished it in a day! With that ending, however, Blake Crouch better be planning on turning this trilogy into a tetralogy.
Wow, what a conclusion! I read this in just over 2 hours because it was so fast-paced and tense. I could have done without the complicated love triangles but really appreciated the ending.
