pallathens 's review for:

In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken
5.0

Like the other books in the series, this one sucked me right in! Though, I was a bit hesitant to read it because 1. my heart took its sweet time to recover from the previous book and 2. I don't want it to end yet. Still, I was powerless when it comes to this series so I gave in. I finished it in one day.

As usual, it was an emotional ride. Since it is the end of the series, the characters have to tie up their emotional conflicts. I don't like this element because I don't have a thing for dramas. But it's okay because it is not overwhelming (much). And brace yourselves for an emotional surprise!

Aside from the feels, the characters have concluded their relationships. This is the part I liked the most because of the amusing conversations. I will not spoil it for you, though I think you actually have an idea. For those who are pinning for Ruby♥Liam, well you'll not be disappointed.

The plot was a little fast-paced. I actually felt a little dizzy with all the things they're doing (it seemed to much!). Also, I'm a bit surprised that some things are quite predictable for me. The other books didn't give me a hint at all as to what comes next. The cause, the cure... yeah, quite predictable.

Now, I don't wanna be a party popper but I am not satisfied with the ending. It's anticlimactic and it's like the 90% of the book is this dark place and then suddenly it went all bright in the last part. It made the past a little surreal for me. Like it didn't happen. But I guess, you couldn't ask for a better ending.

Unless, you're greedy like me. I still crave for more!

All in all, I love this book. I love all the characters (including Clancy even if he is an asshole), I love the relationship, the plot, the world, the adventure, the action... EVERYTHING! I love this series!

SO yeah, I am a little sad that the story ends here.

But let's carry on and let's carpe the hell out of this diem!
