A delightful and logical conclusion (spoilers)
The rundown:
We join our characters in the the final book of the series. We now find ourselves In the Outlands wondering who to trust. A journey to the city together information quickly escalate to an all out plan and an unlikely alliance
The good:
The love triangle has all but dissipated which is great. I love the fact that the author didn’t try to drag out the possible love triangle in a illogical fashion. I also enjoyed the author’s focus on ben and avyln’s relationship and how it’s changed, like a normal relationship would.
The bad:
The fact about Manning being a Avyln’s grandfather was a little expected, but I feel there should’ve been some kind of confrontation with that knowledge. All were given is at Manning decides to commit suicide which I thought was a little lackluster.
Additionally I felt like the entire main conflict could have been dragged out a little bit more, as the climax battle scene wasn’t as impressive as others in the series have been.
The hope:
Girl, I really enjoyed the series and felt that the author created a simple yet beautiful story set in the dystopian genre. The characters were realistic, experienced logical growth and were not too chintzy.
Maybe an explorer series with baby joy?!?! Or a story told from Aron’s point of view?!?!
