Not anywhere near what I thought the end of this series would bring. Not sure if I like that ending. But for the most part loved the book as a whole. 1 star deduction for the ending.

wasn't sure where this was going as the pages started dwindling down, but i like grant's decision to leave things open ended. a narratively interesting and satisfying ending to a series that i've been enjoying since high school. 4.5/5

When powerless and dependent got the power it leads to disaster for mankind.
Vector may just be the deadliest enemy dekka and the group will ever face. He is a swarm of disease-bearing insects. His victims are hit with a wide range of supercharged diseases, and then they are unable to die, but go on and on in a living hell on earth. With Sam, Astrid and edilio back to help the them, They form a team known as the rockborn gang as they got powers from asteroids that fall near there town. The also have a new member: Simone. A Blue skinned guy who can fly. But vector is only just the beginning , many started joining hands with them.
Bob Markovic, rises amongst the newly rockborn. Markovic’s arrogance and lack of a moral compass already made him unbearable. With his newfound power to inflict a deadly disease, he could send all of humanity into a living hell. As they try to find their footing on morally gray grounds, the Rockborn Gang will have to make some tough decisions if they want to save the world. Malik is such an idiot all this hell broke lose because of silly faults. The train accident was the most disturbing ending of the series

Hated the ending, but I'm still thinking about it, so maybe that was the point. Kind of makes you wonder what the point of all this was, and how early that particular plot was planned out.

I...I don't know how I feel about this ending honestly.

As soon as I got to the last couple of pages, I knew there was far too much unresolved for so few pages. I began to dread the end, and I was sad that my dread was warranted. I feel as though Grant wrote a tv show ending in a book. The end of Gone was so satisfying, even though it was bittersweet, and this just felt like he gave up writing a cohesive ending, and it was almost as though he admitted it too! I wish that there had been more time to develope Simone and I felt as though Francis really fell to the wayside as a character, and became more of an object than a person. She jumped in kinda last minute in Villain, and I was excited to really learn about her. I suppose that sometimes character building is sacrificed a bit when there is such a large cast of characters, but I was still kinda sad. I will say that Dekka and Shade really stood out as characters, especially Dekka taking on the leadership role and dealing with the tough decisions. I guess I was just so hoping for more. It didn't have to be wrapped up in a neat little bow, so to say, considering that Gone ended with Drake on the lam, but more than just what felt like an abrupt end.
And I understand that he was giving people the freedom to take the characters in their own hands, but honestly, people would do that anyway! I even wrote a fanfic long ago about a character in the FAYZ. Grant doesn't need to create characters with open-ended fates for people to have something to write about. The world he creates is a great enough setting for the basis of fanfic. I wish he had perhaps wrapped up his charactet's stories a bit better and left the world to be explored.

I absolutely loved this series. This is one of those series I wish I could forget about and read all over again. Which is surprising, as I don't usually like dystopian lit.
