It had been so long since I read Firewalker that I'd forgotten how much I love this series. I know it has it's problems but I really do like the idea; the plot is really fun and the characters have been written really well. When I got to 75% of the way through I couldn't believe this was the final book, it felt like so much still needed to happen & I didn't think it could happen in such a small amount of pages... it did happen, but I really wish the ending had been longer. I'll try to keep this spoiler free, but the 'discovery' made at the start of this book was SO unexpected and everything that happened within this discovery was really gripping. I've always felt that the world building in these books has been done amazingly well, and Josephine proved that again with what happened in this book. I also loved what happened with the Woven toward the end - I always LOVED the sound of the pack (they're wolf-like, I just can't help myself).
Despite it feeling like it ended quickly the ending was still satisfying (but I'd definitely love another book on how everyone recovers from what happened), and the epilogue made me laugh. I'm super tired and unwell so this review really isn't as long or detailed as some of my other reviews, but I honestly did enjoy the book and I might end up rereading the series at some point (even though my reading list is already far too long) because I think the series could be really, really good if read back-to-back. Part of me really wishes I'd only just discovered the series so I could do just that. I'll miss Lily, she was cute at the start but her growth throughout the books has turned her into a warrior & we all love a strong woman.

I really liked the first two books in the series and the final installment did not disappoint. I found the whole premise intriguing.

This was always going to be a tough one to really enjoy because it was obvious that for things to be resolved appropriately, someone would have to pay the price.
Lily has found herself taken by the Hive. She learns that things in this alternate world are very different, but also comes to realise that she might just have found the key to sorting out the problems she faces. While mourning those who haven't made it, Lily has to accept that she has difficult decisions to make. Not everyone agrees with her plans, but she has the courage of her convictions.
As the book progresses it is clear that we are building to a fairly substantial battle. Angelini doesn't disappoint in this respect, though it seemed to take its time coming and then actually Peter out more quickly than I expected.
Suffice to say, we are left with the feeling that things have been sorted out by the time we get to the end though it might have been nice to learn a little more about the set-up.

Lets start with the good points on this book. First I love the story development kinda oblivious at some point but still really clever and well thought out. With lots of interesting new characters.
To the bad points gosh lily is winey and pathetic. ....I was super enjoyed by her high moral talk and not forgiving anyone...because shes super perfect...and her moral worlds speech at the ending...sorry first the speech is weak and second somethings are just not fitting with some people. Just cringe worthy
The whole battlefield scene was super short sadly. But the super important prepar for the war were super duper boring....it felt like gum without flavour to read the book further.
What I hate as well is that the love story and the aftermath of the war is super short or nearly none existing. ..
And pathetic lily was super annoying because miss.moral perfect never does mistakes and judges everyone so she forgives the badass rowan at the end of the book...like really?
But even worse were the poor little woven and dialoges I witnessed in this book..like seriously. ..
The first book is still the strongest then comes the second.and trilogy typical the third is the weakest. Sadly....the third book had has potential to be the best one...but seriously the book felt sometimes like gum.
But I stilled enjoyed reading the book anyways

This is the final novel in the Worldwalker series, but to me it almost felt like it came from a completely different series. The plot of this series book a weird turn that felt very different from the first 2 books and it was not my cup of tea. I found this book sat in an awkward place between fantasy, science fiction and dystopian. I didn't know what the story wanted to be anymore. I felt like it was trying too be too many things at once. I would have DNF'd this book if it wasn't the last book in a series. I cared enough to know how it ended but I found myself putting off reading because of this book.
This was just a 2 star series for me. I do think I would recommend it, because there are many other series out there that are fantastic and this one just fell flat for me. I am happy I get to add it to my read series shelf but that's about it. I also noticed in the last book there might be some weird representation of native american's, I haven't seen anyone else talk about it but I would look out for that.

This was better than the last two books. It finally stopped revolving around Lily's feelings for Rowan and focused on the interesting part, the actual plot. While the Bower City stuff was pretty predictable, it was still good action and a satisfying conclusion to the series.
