I really loved this series. Highly recommend. This last instalment is a bit of a tear jerker though.

Perfect ending. Like, actually. There was nothing missing, it was perfect.
Now please excuse me while I go sob in a corner for a little while.

I CRIED FOUR TIMES.
I feel satisfied with the ending and it accomplishes what the author was going for. I do however agree with other reviews that I wish we got more Georgie <3
It's a sign of good writing when all the emotional scenes make me cry and all the tense scenes make me so tense I feel like I need to stop and walk for a bit. The found family vibes are immaculate and we love it here.

A satisfying conclusion to the series, but not quite as strong a novel by itself as the previous two in the series were. Georgie was never as strongly present as Ashala and Ember were in their stories, and the structure didn't really offer the big reveals. (Or rather, the big reveals were all character deaths, and we knew some deaths were coming, and once they're on the table like that, that roulette wheel isn't something I find particularly compelling.)
But I'm rounding it back up to the overall four stars because what I really needed right now was a fantasy where the big emotional finale point was, "Seriously, just be fucking nice to each other ffs."

I've really enjoyed this series. It's such a unique, fresh version of a dystopian story, heavily influenced by Indigenous culture and society. The Tribe have a very strong connection to country, with each kid having a connection to a particular animal. It was fascinating to read the author's note at the back saying that the restrictions placed on those with powers in the series are modelled on Australian government regulations for Aboriginal Australians, particularly in Western Australia.
This was probably my least favourite of the three books, but there really wasn't much separating the three. There were times, though, when this felt a little bit rushed, especially when it was jumping between Ashala and Georgie. That said, the ending was pretty stinking great. And I really loved that the series featured a different protagonist for each of past, present and future - Georgie can see the future, Ashala can change the present, and Ember can help people revisit the past. That was damned cool.
So yeah. A pretty different dystopian series, but definitely one that's worth checking out!

The final book of The Tribe trilogy is amazing. Told in two voices (Ahala and Georgie's memories given to Ashala), it is a moving, emotional and heart-wrenching in many ways. As the author notes at the end of the book, while this is framed within a sci-fi/fantasy dystopian context, it mirrors the real world, past and present. Hate and fear are all too real, as is the over-consumption and misuse of natural resources. If only we had the ability like Ashala to dream compassion and the sense of connectedness with the planet into everyone around the globe. It may not be as simple, but being an example through living with compassion for others, respect for the planet, can make the world a better place. Small actions cause ripples, as Georgie's webs and visions of the futures demonstrate multiple times throughout the books.
