I'm keeping this short since it's 4 a.m.
I'm marathoning the series and I gotta say, Michael Grant has greatly outdone himself. I've really relished this book. In my opinion, this was by far the best book in the series (my opinion might change after reading the remaining books, who knows?). This book made me love Sam even more and hate Drake even more. Overall, this is a thrilling, thought-provoking and adventure-packed novel that disrupted my normal sleep routine. So excited to read the fourth installment!

YEEEH I finally finish this book. What I want to say... okay, I enjoy it so much, these books were a recomendation from my parabatai so when I saw her really exciting reading that in summer i said, I should read it, and now i am in the third book.
What I liked about this book? Diana and Cain, I really like these two, together
What I dont like? I dont like the thing that Jack and Brianna dont appear so mucha, and I really need more pages where they appear
So i give it a 9/10 and 5 stars
If you are thinking about reading these books really you should do it right now.

Rereading the series, this is as great as it always was to me. Sadly however, I am developing a little pet peeve about the constant and needless recaps.

The story just gets weirder, more ridiculous and more confusing. I don’t think I’m going to continue with the series.

I loved this book for so many reasons. I like how most of the characters are recovering from events of the previous books, and you can really see how hard life in the FAYZ is for them. Caine’s group is on the verge of starving to death, which brings Caine to a desperate, even more cruel, person, just trying to survive. Sam has PTSD from nearly dying from his fight with Drake (and everything else he’s been through) and you can see how that is affecting the decisions he makes. Sanjit and his family are excellent new characters, it’s fun to be on the third book and still finding new interesting people. Zil is so very infuriating and so reflective of many real people would act, which makes him even worse. Edilio is the MVP and I love him. He does whatever he can, whatever is right, even though it often puts him in danger.
Overall, I love the story, I love the characters (even though they’re falling apart), and I love this series. Again, rereading this as an adult makes it even better.

I think I have to categorize this book as "missed potential". The author tried a lot of things, some only beneficial for the greater series, and not all of them worked. I would have liked it a lot more if the characters struggled with what is the truth, rather than trying to silence the lies. Alas, the author chose for something different, returning to the Christian themes of good vs evil.
My biggest gripe was the pacing of this story. It felt likethe fire was the climax of the novel, both in pacing and in importance, but it was only in the middle of the book.
Furthermore, which I read in another review, there were so many POV's, you knew exactly what was going on. The story therefore hinged on the character interactions, but they didn't work for me as well. It may have been realistic, especially Sam's PTSD, but I didn't like it that much.
