A review by pagesofmaria
The Towering Sky by Katharine McGee
4.0
I really love the trilogy as a whole. But I think the last book is my least favorite for a few reasons:
1. The ending. I love the fact that what Avery did has set them all free. But come on, have mercy with Atlas and Avery. They should at least meet in the end! They could have pulled off a fake death but not contacting Atlas?? Really???????
2. Calliope. Oh-kay. This one I am so confused. I like her and her back story in the second book. She played a role in the lives of the others there. But in this book, how is she related to them? What is her role in all this mess? I didn't really care what happened to her. Her story feels like a filler for me.
3. The plot. I am already aware about the drama and the issues of these characters. But I expected something with the Mariel investigation. That plot twist with her killer did not give me any reaction whatsoever. The plot build up, only to be delivered unsatisfactory for my taste. Although the plot twist is good, I think I was expecting something more.
But I really enjoyed the whole trilogy. I love each and everyone of their dramas. I also like Calliope in the second book but I felt disconnected from her as a character in this book.
