desertlover 's review for:
The Retribution of Mara Dyer
by Michelle Hodkin
The ability to heal does not make one good any more than the ability to kill makes one evil. Kill the right people, and you become a hero. Heal the wrong ones, and you become a villain. It is our choices that define us, not our abilities.
Disclaimer: I read this trilogy in a span of less than a week. I did not wait on pins and needles like many others have. Perhaps that is why my review will be different. I absolutely loved this "final" book of the trilogy. I devoured it in one day, totally ignoring the world around me. Until the final page, I had no idea how it would end! It was gripping; Mara's transformation was mesmerizing. Book 3 is definitely darker than its predecessors. I found myself not liking Mara at times and scared for her in others. In the end, she was exactly who she was supposed to be.
I hope one day we will get another peek into this world! No doubt, this is one book people will be very opinionated about. That's the beauty of reading and feeling passion about characters.

Many people will be upset that Noah was not present for the the large majority of the book. Yes, I would have loved to seen him more, but this was Mara's journey. I could understand for her need to do this without relying solely on Noah. I loved the banter with Jamie and Daniel! It was nice to see they take a more prevalent role in this book. Usually, I loathe unfinished endings; I prefer everything to be neatly wrapped and complete. For some strange reason, this ending absolutely worked for me. I was happy to think Noah and Mara are content and hopelessly in love with the here and now.I hope one day we will get another peek into this world!
