The Toll by Neal Shusterman

4.0

Wow, this book was a ride. I rushed through it because most of the time, I was so caught up and invested in what was happening that I hated the idea of not knowing. And... The end had me literally on the edge of my seat, but I'm not too sure how satisfied I am with it. It's not bad, for sure, it's just... Nothing I ever would have imagined. But moving on from that. The whole trilogy is a gem, and the final book is definitely not a let-down. It's just as riveting as the other two, if not more. I loved all the new characters - it's tough to add new people at the end of a series, but the characters all felt real and like they belonged. They were right for this story, if that makes sense. My absolute favourite thing is the way the book weaved different timelines, that was incredibly satisfying. I loved seeing them come together. Beyond being very good and entertaining, these books are thought-provoking, and I highly recommend that everyone read them. They are such a delight. Truly one of the best, if not the best, YA trilogies I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
