jenbsbooks's review against another edition
4.0
At least this one didn't have a cliffhanger ending! I see some people calling for a book 4, but I felt that his was a conclusion and the story is now done. I did enjoy this series and this book wrapping things up. Like the ending of book 1, book 2 left readings dangling, and again, I wasn't sure I was happy about the twist. Here in book 3, we have Mercedes POV introduced, so the infected must not be mindless zombies as we and the townspeople have been lead to believe.
I've read a couple other books where the reader gets the POV of a vampire or zombie ... experiencing the change from human to this other form. It's always interesting and was effective here.
I wasn't sure if I really bought into the whole Roman/Pierce/Elders conspiracy. And also, I struggled a bit with Porschia and the town being so absolutely unforgiving of Saul, when Porschia is willing to forgive her mother for her mistreatment her entire life, and for the murders of Meg and other innocents. Everyone is also willing to forgive Roman, who has shed his share of blood. Is what Saul did so wrong or different? Poor Saul ...
I did really like the consistency of the covers and titles too ;)
