Tremendo final de saga!!!
Un buen cierre para una gran historia!!!
Un buen cierre para una gran historia!!!
The Toll delivers a finale that is intense, dark, and unflinching. Shusterman does not shy away from the moral questions at the heart of the series, and the characters remain unpredictable, flawed, and painfully human. Every choice carries weight, every action has consequences, and the world he has built still feels dangerous and alive.
Even so, the ending is hard to swallow. Sending everyone into space feels like an escape rather than a resolution. After all the struggle, the deaths, the impossible decisions, it is frustrating to see humanity offered a clean exit instead of a confrontation with its own flaws. The story teases profound consequences and then sidesteps them, leaving a sense that the problems were never fully faced.
Despite this, The Toll still grips. The ideas remain sharp, the tension relentless, and the moral complexity that defines the series stays intact. It is a bold, sometimes messy conclusion, one that challenges the reader but does not entirely satisfy. It is not perfect, but it is compelling, and it is worth the journey.

Wow. Epic conclusion.
This series is listed as teen fiction but it reads so much more mature. The complexity, the characters, the vocabulary, the intricate plot…I don’t see a teen fully grasping all of this lol
There were so many moving parts and it all came together beautifully.
I have zero criticism. I absolutely loved it.
This world was so cool and immersive, going down as one of my all time favorite series
