In the Afterlight
by Alexandra Bracken
After reading so many conclusions to series in the recent past (especially conclusions to dystopian series), I have been disappointed by the ending time and time again. But IN THE AFTERLIGHT was the complete opposite: it was what a series' finale should be and more. All of the characters got their time in the spotlight and I felt like they all got the parting that they deserved. All of the plot lines were tied up nicely, at least the plot lines that are important to the characters. This was an absolutely amazing book. I got it around 2 PM today and I am now writing this at 4 AM, having devoured it in one sitting, all the while singing, "Fuck my life and fuck my responsibilities!" But it was all worth it, because this truly was a spectacular book.
And, by the way, I have never had the experience of reading an author's acknowledgments and bursting into tears before. Seriously, Alexandra Bracken, that last line of your acknowledgments touched me and made tears roll down my face. So, thank you for your story, for your characters, and for your inspiring words.
