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.
