yeah no it left so much good plot out and what good plot was written wasn’t written well. it felt like everything was shoved into the end and nothing felt emotional or 3D it just was all flat

I am pleased with this last book. The ending I felt was incredibly rushed and predictable, however it was a satisfying conclusion and most likely my favourite book of the series. Surprisingly I really like the TV show inspired covers, most likely because I do love the TV show way more than the books.
Continuing straight on from the first novel, Homecoming begins with the drop ships having crash landed. However, with that comes new laws and conflict, through which the Hundred are opposed to due to the lives they have already built for themselves. So when the rules change, so do alliances, and Clarke and Bellamy will do anything to get things back to normal... or as normal as they can be.
Clarke as in all the previous novels is amazing. She is strong and determined, and will give up all her time to help those in need, no matter what. Bellamy too is a brilliant character, his strive the help his people is immense alongside his passion to help them survive; Bellamy's fight for what is right is very dominant throughout the novel. Then Glass, in this last novel I cannot work out whether I liked her or not. I felt as though she did whine a bit throughout this novel and really relied on others, however I was very pleased to see a growth of character towards the end of the novel by gaining some of the strength I respect in Clarke, becoming a more mature and stronger individual.
The plot of this novel was certainly full of action, danger and suspense; I could not turn the pages fast enough. However, it felt incredibly rushed, alongside the ending being far too perfect and predictable. Though I must say the death of an individual was incredibly surprising, I had not seen it coming at all.
Therefore Homecoming was a satisfying conclusion to this trilogy, but I must say I cannot wait for the next season of The Hundred on TV!
