A satisfying, if slightly drawn out ending to this fun series. This is def a light, easy going, suspend belief as we peek into the lives of the super super rich living in the New York Tower.
I am still not sold on the whole epic love story between Atlas and Avery. It just doesn't resinate with me well. She found love, stability, someone who finally just saw her as herself, not the "perfect princess living on the 1000 floor" in Max and she throws it all away for Atlas.
Everyone does get a happy ending though...which is a nice way to end a series.
This series won't change lives, but it was fun to sneak away to such a fantastical world for a little bit

This book got sidelined behind some other more engaging books, but I still enjoyed it. It was a great way to end the 3 part series with a few twists and turns that I did not guess and didn’t see coming!

I read the first two books of this series a truly embarrassing amount of time ago and I loved those, but this one fell pretty flat to me. I didn't love it, though I thought the plot was interesting and well done, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. The writing was good, the characters were fine, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
No me convenció el primero pero me leí el segundo. Después de leer el segundo pensé que tenía que leer el tercero para saber cómo terminaba todo. Tendría que haber leído el epílogo y punto. Relleno, relleno y más relleno.
Honestly I think this was the best possible ending. It was something that wasn’t a option first but the right one in the ending!
I’m really glad that I read the book and I really recommend the trilogy

“Some secrets are better buried.”
Clapping and crying.... sad that its over!!!
What a fantastic ending to this amazing addictive series. I loved this series so hard!! I don't think I could have asked for a better conclusion. I think McGee did a phenomenal job tying up all the loose ends in this finale. She kept her characters and story line just as fast paced and addictive as the first two. I will miss this world so much! What an amazing ride. I can not recommend it enough if you're in need of a secret filled, drama fest! This one is sure to fill your appetite.

TLDR: Despite some dragginess, repetitiveness, and a more predictable plot which comes with having multiple perspectives, this book is a great conclusion to the Gossip Girl-esque series.
Ok, so I first picked up this series on a random whim, and I loved it. It’s incredibly dramatic and I loved the dystopian setting. Reading The Towering Sky felt like the equivalent of watching a guilty pleasure tv drama like Gossip Girl. The writing was solid for the type of story this was and Katharine McGee did a great job of getting you immersed in the huge cast and showcasing their relationships without getting me all confused, which is difficult to pull off so props to her. The final plot twist was delivered pretty well, but the best part of the book is easily the climax. I was a sucker for the drama. And once again Avery and Leda just took the book to a whole new level.
This brings me to my issues with this book. The climax doesn’t come till the last few chapters, which makes a lot of the story repetitive. Once again Leda and Avery pan out as the best characters, and their growth in this book is phenomenal. I love scheming Leda (she’s clearly my favorite character) but I love the more rational Leda in this book as well. Any chapter with Avery and Leda are deliciously entertaining, and they carry the climax on their shoulders. However, while those two shine, the others falter. What I loved about the first 2 books were that despite all of the characters leading different lives, they were interconnected and we saw those connections. However in this book we barely saw them interact, and everyone seemed to be on their own. This made some characters like Avery and Leda (and just maybe Calliope) interesting, while making the storylines of the others repetitive and boring. This repetitiveness also made a lot of the characters’ final resolutions very predictable, save for a select few.
I highly recommend this book if you’re down for a guilty pleasure like read. I’ve read books with this type of drama but what got me hooked about this series in general was how every character was pushed to their limit till their pent up drama blew up in everyone’s faces. Call me sadistic, but that’s my type of dramatic sci-fi right there.
