Now that I have read all four books in this series I am left with one question, why? The ending to the series was ok but like the one thing that is really on my mind is how on earth did the world end up like this? They ended up introducing so many characters only to tell a very confusing set of stories that all ended very lackluster. With the way the world in the books was developed you could have easily written 8 more books to add to this series (or more). I am kind of just left like, wow, that's it? Epilogues exist for a reason, please use them Lois Lowry, and if not just don't make open ended stories.
