Hero by Michael Grant

3.0

---

For the most part this played out like the previous two books of this sequel trilogy. A big bad guy with a deadly power starts causing issues and the super squad that formed in the previous books try to stop him. Being the final book, however, there were some loose ends to tie up, some from this trilogy and some from the original series. Unfortunately, the loose ends felt very lazily concluded - a couple were satisfying because of who was involved but there were big build ups which just petered out. The ending was just hopelessly awful and potentially has ruined the entire series for me. It could be saved with a subsequent book, but as it stands, the Gone series is much better without this sequel trilogy which adds nothing to the franchise and has the worst ending twist.
