This is an amazing conclusion to this series. It's fast paced and opens with the first chapter being a complete shock.
and it just gets more daring, dark and shocking from there. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Once I was done with Part II, I wasn't at all sure what was happening anymore.
This is a world come undone. And Kaelyn, Tobias, Anika, Justin and Leo are just trying to survive. Nothing is for sure except this vaccine and it's everything to this world that it start being made into more vaccine so it can be passed out, treated and this disease can be forced out.
Their final journey and destination, their final sacrifices and their hope and love. It's an adventure I'm glad I read.

This is the third and final installment of The Fallen World series. I have not read the first two books in the series but I didn’t have difficulty understanding what had taken place before and what the group was attempting to do on their journey. Although I was not emotionally invested in these characters like a reader of the series would be, Crewe did a good job of establishing the group’s dynamics early in the book which gave insight into what they felt for one another and what they had gone through to get to this point. This book falls firmly into the dystopian category and does little to set itself apart. However, I would recommend it to voracious readers of the genre who are looking for something new. (Only needed in a collection that already has the first two books)

Conclusion to the Fallen World series. Gav is in a bad spot and the group of teens have to get to the CDC in Atlanta to have any hope for survival. Will they make it? Will the Wardens find them and steal the vaccine? Will anyone else in the group get sick?
I liked how the love triangle didn't become the main focus of the novel. Actually it really took a back seat in the plot, which was refreshing. I liked the series.

[b:The Way We Fall|8573632|The Way We Fall (Fallen World, #1)|Megan Crewe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316718389s/8573632.jpg|13442456] was a very solid addition to the bloated young adult apocalypse/dystopia genre. [b:The Lives We Lost|13449858|The Lives We Lost (Fallen World, #2)|Megan Crewe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1352659327s/13449858.jpg|18971225] demonstrated why the fate of the world should never be left in the hands of teenagers (they're nothing but angst and love triangles and poor foresight). The Worlds We Make is the conclusion and has all the same flaws as the second book. I do give a lot of kudos for the covers and the titles of all three books. They are all very lovely and intriguing.
Kaelyn and the gang are still on the run from the (evil?) Wardens, who are trying to capture the vaccine for the friendly flu that Kaelyn's father created. Kaelyn is desperate to get the vaccine to the CDC so it can be given to all of humanity. Like in book 2, there's lots of roadtripping, Kaelyn feeling angsty/guilty, and romantic entanglements.
The highlight of this book was Kaelyn's conversation with Michael, the supposed Big Bad of the series and the leader of the Wardens. Michael is more of an anti-hero than a true villain. He has consolidated power in his effort to save humanity. The world needs leadership, and he's going to give it, by the gun if necessary. He's not a bad guy, just a guy in desperate circumstances trying to hold things together. I liked this characterization, and kudos to Crewe for not just making the Big Bad evil.
Kaelyn's contact with the CDC is more frustrating.
As this is obviously a stupid plan, Kaelyn & co. disagree. And actually figure out a solution so that everyone can get the vaccine. Huzzah!
So happy endings all around, except for the fact that society is in shambles and there’s no getting it back. I predict Michael will continue to be the warlord the Americas need (because even if everyone can get the vaccine, Michael still controls other resources, like food and medicine).
But at least Kaelyn can go back and live on her island with Leo, especially since Gav is conveniently dead so she doesn't have to make any difficult decisions about who she should make out with.

The CDC doctor decides, against all better judgment and the Hippocratic Oath, to withhold the vaccine from anyone she deems unworthy. Because that makes sense. When the world has been destroyed, you want to make sure that there is MORE chaos and violence by withholding a necessity from terrified, dying people.As this is obviously a stupid plan, Kaelyn & co. disagree.

I told myself that part of my fifty-books-this-year challenge was going to be writing better reviews, but this may just be one of those mountains on which I choose not to die. This trilogy has brought me a lot, most treasured to me being a friendship (at least on Facebook) with the author, to say nothing of the multiple signed copies of each installment. I felt this installment did suffer from a bit of a pacing slump about a quarter of the way through during which I felt that the next expected twist was teased for about ten pages too long. But otherwise it was another romp with characters I've come to love, and best of all, it's written in such a way that one doesn't feel the need to run back to the previous book in order to fill in any gaps and does so in a way that doesn't feel like being sat down by somebody and told "Okay, here's what happened". I also would like to join/start a petition to get a novella picking up where this one left off and just long enough for me to get my Tessa fix. I miss that girl.

Ahh!!! Finishing series makes me so happy/sad at the same time... this was a good conclusion to the series. I always thought ending an apocalypse book would be a struggle, but Crewe finished out the series strong. Sad, for sure...but still ended on a happier note than I expected.

A really strong ending to a unique survivalist fiction.

Finally the cure to the global pandemic finds the right hands and where the author has instilled the characters to do their own world building.

A wonderful and satisfying conclusion to an inventive and thought-provoking series. I loved the fact that Kaelyn has to make so many hard choices, and the exploration of what humanity really means, especially during a crisis. I couldn't put this down after the midway point -- I was too invested in the mission!
