Hero by Michael Grant

3.0

The Rockborn Gang face a new horrific monster as the terrifying trilogy races to its action packed finale.

...well. That ending is going to be very divisive. I can see wars erupting online over this one.


There's not a lot I can say about this without spoiling that ending. There are a few more of the original characters, a couple of new ones, as usual for Michael. The horror rachets up another rung, but it's almost cartoonish now, it's so awful. We've passed the level where it's understandable.



I applaud Michael for continuing this series, and for publicly endorsing fanfiction based on it - he's almost begging people to write for it, and it's great that he's giving them that official backing. But for me, the Gone series finishes with the first six books. This new trilogy, while enjoyable and exciting, is just a stretch too far for me.
