A review by kerrithebookbelle
The Earth Dwellers by David Estes

5.0

**IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE DWELLERS SAGA AND THE COUNTRY SAGA, THIS REVIEW IS BASICALLY GONNA CONFUSE AND SPOIL THE HELL OUT OF YOU SO GO READ THOSE BOOKS FIRST OKAY BYE**

It's hard to believe, but here we are, 7 books later, and at the end of not one, but TWO series.

The Earth Dwellers picks right up where Water&Storm Country left off, with Tristan and Adele coming topside to meet with our fire country gang. The ice country is in turmoil, and honestly, the water&storm countries aren't really in this one, until the very end.

So we have a new baddie in this book--the president of the Earth Dwellers/Glassies/whatever else they're called. He's kind of a complete and total ass, and the gang decides to combine forces to take him down.

I'm trying not to spoil too much, but I will say that this was an amazing end to two fantastic series. I cried at the epilogue. Wait, y'all, let me repeat that. I, Kerri Hughes, who barely TEARED UP at The Fault in Our Stars, was shedding massive tears at the end of this book. And not only for sad reasons, either.

I LOVED seeing the old characters again, and being back in Adele's head was like coming home, since we were in her head for most of the first three books. All of the awesome main characters that we've met during the Country Saga are in this, as well, and it all makes for an epic and amazing final book. I've loved the journey these stories have taken, and I can't wait to see what David's got in store next!

much love, lovelies! xoxo
