I almost really liked this book. I liked the connections created between all the past characters, and I'd really been waiting for a book about Gabe (though I did enjoy this also mainly being a book about Claire; I liked jumping back to the original community Giver is set in). Still, the ending felt rushed for such a huge buildup, and I think the Giver/Gathering Blue had better concepts because they didn't rely on a specific created Evil Enemy (though the Trade master was interesting, it's just not what I've come to understand from this series). I have really mixed feelings, but I still enjoyed reading it until the incredibly rushed last few pages.
