Another great book in the series. The ending makes me think it's the last in the series (I'm guessing it is), but he leaves it open-ended enough that of he wants he could write another. Scott Westerfeld is becoming one of my favorite writers.

A good finish for this solid YA series, an easy, good paced read it wraps up the story - though not neatly, leaving some possibilities open for Westerfeld to revive the series or create a new one later on.

Oh gosh, the ending made me feel so sad! A worthy end to the Midnighters series. The pace was good and the plot too.

This was not as bad as the second book. The only problem that I had with this one was the fact that Westerfield introduced new ideas in the last book. It just makes things more confusing. The ending was really annoying. It made no sense and was not descriptive. This was not one of my top series, but they aren't the worst books I have read.

The Secret Hour was pretty good, but nothing special. Touching Darkness was much, much better. Following that pattern, I assumed Blue Noon would knock my socks off. While it didn't quite get to that point, the ending was very...shocking. In the electric sense. You'd just have to read it to understand.
Blue Noon really didn't improve on the second book. If anything, I liked the second one better, which is rare for me and trilogies. Jessica and Jonathan just got even more boring, and Melissa was just crabby. Rex and Dess were, as usual, the only interesting ones in the story. They had the most personality, the most uniqueness.
Since this was the end of the series, I wanted it to have a big finish. I wanted it to end with a huge BANG! that would make me wish it hadn't ended. Sure, the ending was exciting. Sure, it was somewhat intense. But I wanted more than that. I wanted something that would blow me away, would stick with me for days or weeks or months or forever. It was a decent finish, but not spectacular. I felt myself struggling to care about the possibility of the world being consumed into the midnight hour. I just couldn't bring myself to get that emotionally involved.
The thing with Jessica at the end was a real tearjerker, though, if I was that type of reader. I won't say what happened for fear of spoilers, but still. Wow.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the book. It was exciting and I love the concept, and thought it was well-executed. I just didn't get quite the BAM that I wanted from the ending. I felt a little let down about that, but otherwise it was a decent finish to the series.

3,75/5 stars.
This is definitely my favourite instalment in The Midnighters trilogy. It is quite slow at the beginning but the ending definitely makes up for it.
I honestly wish we had another trilogy taking place in the same world, but with different characters considering how it all ends. I’d be super interested to see how it would all go!

che cacchio, è proprio l'ultimo capitolo della saga.. vabbè tutto deve finire prima o poi però un pochino mi dispiace >.<
tutto sommato è finito anche bene.. insomma jessica ho continuato ad odiarla per tutto il libro però addirittura farla morire mi sembrava un tantinello esagerato; melissa e dess restano le mie preferite *-*

The series premise is awesome, but the execution is deeply flawed; if you think about it for longer than about four seconds it falls apart. And it really, really bothered me that Westerfeld misapplied the term "polymath".
Nevertheless, Westerfeld's a good guy to have writing: he's one of the most vocal members of the science fanclub among YA writers, and it's really nice to see a bunch of math and science nerdery floating around in the urban fantasy genre.

The only part of this book I didn't like was the end, and maybe a few details. The end was one of my least favorite endings, the first two books were the better ones in the series.
