The Foretelling of Georgie Spider by Ambelin Kwaymullina
4.0
Though a darker book than the previous two, this installment was still enjoyable. This book, we spend time with Georgie, as she discovers that Ash is in terrible trouble, and enlists various Tribe members to avert Ash's fate.
I really liked how over this series we've seen Ash, Ember and Georgie and how they are the centre of The Tribe. Their bond is unshakeable, and is what helps keep The Tribe together and strong. Each brings a different perspective on situations, and this time around, the situation is dire. Terence and Neville Rose are working hard to undermine everything The Tribe, with Prime Willis, have achieved over the previous months. The Tribe awakens Hoffman (yes, that Hoffman, whose ideas about Balance govern this world) in an effort to deal with the destructive plans of the other two. Hoffman provides us with an interesting contrast to Ashala, as he is a product of the past, and unlike The Tribe, is able to justify the expedient when necessary.
While much of this book is filled with horrible and sad things happening, the story ends on a hopeful note for this world, and brings us back also to the deep love between Ash, Ember and Georgie.
