I really loved this series, I thought it was very interesting. The concepts were intriguing, and it was a fun read. In this book, I wasn’t as in love with the characters, but they were still enjoyable to follow. However, I must say that I was left a bit unsatisfied with the ending of this last book. It for me, felt out of place almost, and gave me an odd sort of disappointment.

Initial Impressions 2/14/15: 4.25 - 4.5 stars -- Wow, what a really, really great finish to this series from Jessica Brody! I really just loved so many things about this book. It was incredible how much this series grew and evolved throughout the course of the trilogy. I was REALLY impressed with everything that transpired in UNCHANGED. Lots of things I didn't see coming, lots of great character development, lots of action.
Thank you for such an entertaining trilogy, Jessica! I had so much fun with this.
Full review as originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Thank you, Jessica Brody, for a great finish to this trilogy! It's been so much fun reading this series and I've been absolutely impressed with how much it's grown over time. I had the pleasure of interviewing Jessica for the Unchanged Blog Tour and what I thought was really interesting was that she said she sort of wrote each book as a stand-alone but each of them were connected and I really liked this concept! A lot of time went by in between picking up one book to the next since I read each one right around its pub date so it was actually really great to be able to pick up the next book and not feel totally lost because I couldn't remember what happened previously. (UNCHANGED had a nice little refresher too.)
The overall concept of UNCHANGED was so interesting. It's no spoiler to say that when the book opens, we sort of re-meet Sera... After all of the progress that she made in UNFORGOTTEN, she's once again a slave to Diotech's mission although she believes in it willingly. This realization and what it means for her (and Zen) is just heartbreaking but it was also so much fun to root for Sera the whole book to wake up and smell the coffee and to take down the man!
Naturally, this causes complications for the romance. (BIG ones.) Not only is Sera back in with Diotech, but she feels connected with her "print mate" Kaelen. At the same time, she still remembers Zen but is convinced he had brought her over to the dark side (the events that occurred in UNFORGOTTEN). I'll admit there were times in UNREMEMBERED when I wasn't quite convinced what was so great about Zen and then really started to like him in UNFORGOTTEN and I started to totally understand -- the UNCHANGED sort of shattered those pieces! (In a good way?) It brought about SO much more emotion and I got incredibly invested in everything that was going on! It really helped bring out so many more sides of each character as well. We get to dig a lot deeper into the minds of Sera, Zen, Kaelen, and even Dr. A!
UNCHANGED was a thrilling conclusion to this series! There was a whole lot of action and lots of great developments that kept pushing the plot forward. I really loved getting to know the characters so much better in this book and it was definitely the one I was most invested in plot-wise and emotionally! The Unremembered Trilogy was so entertaining and I was so happy to read such a well-put together science fiction collection! Everything got so much more detailed in each book and I just really love how it all came together in the end.

Loved the ending!!! At times, I felt the book was a bit hard to follow but I deeply enjoyed the way that the author incorporated details from the previous books to make a logical conclusion.

I had a hunch from the beginning that Seriana was Seraphjna. The ending was super adorable tho... can’t believe Seraphina gave up her life for the cause

After my 3-star experience with Unforgotten, I was a little nervous about Unchanged, but my sister assured me that this book would not disappoint. So, I took her word for it and dove right in -- she was right! Unchanged was pretty damn awesome.
What I've really enjoyed about this series is the progression of setting. That might sound weird, but some series take me to new places I wasn't wanting, etc. This series has taken me on a wild ride of fascinating discoveries! It was a LOT of fun getting to see their version of the future, complete with slang and swear words that actually felt *right* for once!
It has also been a treat to watch how Seraphina has grown, changed, and learned about herself throughout this entire series. The way this book begins -- and progresses -- is just plain brilliant on Brody's part, imo. You get to see so many possibilities, so many different sides to people and I absolutely love that!
The resolutions at the end were some surprises as well, which is usually a great thing. I still feel a bit undecided on some of the final outcomes, which is why I didn't rate this higher than 4 stars. But still. This was a VERY solid book and a GREAT ending to the series!!!

I've genuinely never been so devastated a plot end of a series before.
I just kept waiting...and waiting...and waiting for this book to make me AT THE VERY LEAST content with the plotline. Reading this was like constantly stabbing my heart because I simply hated every minute of Sera's hijacking. And then the author somehow twists the knife deeper in the end after she gets her memories back and like ???????
Mind you, I just finished this book ten minutes ago. But my head is still REELING and frankly I can't imagine myself ever accepting the end of this book. I'm so not okay right now and frankly what hurts the most is knowing that it's not like readers could feel content with just stopping at the second book. No, the author straight up wants us to FEEL THE PAIN. No happy ending, no closure, no satisfying tying up loose ends. My heart is broken, bro. If I don't find another book full of happy rainbow unicorns to immerse my heart in, I just might lose my head. I can't even tell you--the reader--to not read this. Cause this story is so darn good. But bro....... I'm not okay with this one, and I can't see how anyone else would be.
