“Suffering is everywhere, and we have to do whatever we can to prevent a worse hurt.”
I can’t believe it’s the end.
I very quickly fell in love with the characters of the Unstoppable series in book one, Victories Greater than Death. Book three is no different. I loved watching them grow as people and as friends. I’m sad it’s over, but it was such a fun ride.
Charlie Jane Anders has a way with worlds that excites me. They’re fun and homely, but they’re also terrifying and raw. This series is written for young adults, but I believe all ages would enjoy this series. There’s something about watching young adults grow into themselves that makes young adult fiction so exciting to read.
As with most sequels, I can’t go into much detail without spoiling the other two, so just go start the series already! We can discuss when you catch up. :)
Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Teen for the chance to read this advanced review copy.

I loved this weird and wonderful series and I feel like book three does it justice.
I enjoyed the character development, discovering new worlds and societies on other planets and appreciated the ambitious storyline and universe building. The characters are loveable, flawed, and forgiving and seem like real people doing out of this world stuff. I feel like a review of book three ends up being a review of the whole series - the entire premise is inventive, and largely unpredictable. I find parts of it authentically chaotic - in that what is happening is chaos, and the written words capture that emotion.
There are several parts of the series that are just delightful, I love sinking into the world and being delighted by some of the explorations, heartened by the friendships, or simply horrified by some of the villains.
It's YA, and it's YA I would have loved to have as a young person, but appreciate as an adult too.
Thanks to Tor Teen and Netgalley for e-ARC for the third and final book in the Unstoppable series.
