A review by alyssa_ell
Golden by Michael Johnston, Melissa de la Cruz

3.0

I would recommend this series to readers who like dystopian novels and if you enjoyed the Slated series by Teri Terry. Personally, I felt like the events in the book repeated itself a bit and didn't grab my attention as the finale of a series should. Unfortunately, this last book was published a year after Stolen so I would recommend reading Stolen again to pick up from where it left off. I would say this is an action-packed book, but I would of really liked to have seen a little bit less action to slow the pace of the plot down.

In general, I think that the best novel in the series was Frozen and I was a little disappointed with Golden, but overall it is an action-packed book and has a nice ending to the series which concludes it nicely.
