I think Shusterman has created something genuinely brilliant, with characters you really root for, a plot that keeps you engaging and magnificent, thoughtful world building.
I honestly absolutely LOVED my time with these books and the audio narration my Tremblay was fantastic throughout!

I am definitely going to keep think about this book and especially the ending for some time!
I wish I could give this book 5 stars but I was pretty bored in the middle (mostly because of all the politics but I get that that was necessary for the story..)
One thing Neal Shusterman is amazing at it writing endings. Every book in this series made me want to keep reading in the end. If only the whole books were as captivating as the last 150 pages!
I definitely liked the series and as I said the ending was unexpected and the best it could have been. I'm generally not a sci-fi fan though so I think if you are you will probably like these books even more than me.
