Slight Maximum Ride Forever spoilers (the book before this one) and some from Hawk:
This book doesn't make sense with the established timeline in Maximum Ride Forever. There's a lot of discrepancies and inconsistency with this book against the established story and timeline. There isn't a lot of explanation as to how things got to to be where they were from how they ended, and even the ending of Maximum Ride forever and the beginning of this book do not match up. In the epilogue of Maximum Ride forever, page 380, it's mentioned that Hawk/Phoenix is "now a tall, lanky fourteen-year old" and she's about to go on her first flying lessons with Max, Fang and the rest of the flock. In this new book, she's 15, but somehow it's been 10 years since she's last seen her parents and doesn't remember who they were. The math ain't mathin' there.
Another inconsistency or something that doesn't quite make sense is in this book Total (Angel's flying talking dog) has had puppies, and one curls up on Hawk's lap later. However, there's not really mention of how that happened, if he got another mate or what because his mate Akila died in Maximum Ride Forever.
I wonder if James Patterson or whoever wrote this book for him/with him actually looked back at Maximum Ride Forever and the other books before this one before writing Hawk because it just doesn't add up.
