I really like Katherine Applegate。 She writes simply for a middle grade audience， but there is still poetry in her words。 Her books are a pleasure to read。I have been pushing this trilogy to our readers; I have to say， I was a bit disappointed with this apparently last book of the trilogy。 It all just sort of ended。 There were themes of trust and family and respect for other species， but they were just put out there， not deeply explored。 I love the characters， and in this book we meet some lovel I really like Katherine Applegate。 She writes simply for a middle grade audience， but there is still poetry in her words。 Her books are a pleasure to read。I have been pushing this trilogy to our readers; I have to say， I was a bit disappointed with this apparently last book of the trilogy。 It all just sort of ended。 There were themes of trust and family and respect for other species， but they were just put out there， not deeply explored。 I love the characters， and in this book we meet some lovely Natites， but wanted more sacrifice， or morality， or cosmic significance。 There isn’t enough to talk about。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This series had potential。 Miss Applegate created such an amazing world here。 I feel like she could do a spin off if she wanted to。 Maybe one involving felivets？！？！ The first one in the series was my favorite。 I feel like I would’ve liked it better if a major character would’ve died。 Is that terrible of me to say？ Oh well。 Still a fun read。 Also I wonder why this book didn’t include the map on the inside cover like the first two books did？

I really can't get enough of these beloved characters， so this was a treat。 Lots of quotes to savor about bravery/courage。 Positive messages about governing fair， representation and involvement of all citizens， peace， even though there was a good amount of war in this book （the "army of peace" sometimes had to engage in war to stop the war）。 I admire Applegate's bravery in portraying war violence realistically in a way that most middle grade authors avoid。 It's like the topic of taking life， in I really can't get enough of these beloved characters， so this was a treat。 Lots of quotes to savor about bravery/courage。 Positive messages about governing fair， representation and involvement of all citizens， peace， even though there was a good amount of war in this book （the "army of peace" sometimes had to engage in war to stop the war）。 I admire Applegate's bravery in portraying war violence realistically in a way that most middle grade authors avoid。 It's like the topic of taking life， in self defense even， is the ultimate taboo。 I highly recommend this series to upper elementary/middle school avid readers who enjoy fantasy。 。。。more

This kind of ended with a fizzle。 It just didn't do much。 In fact， it was so fast， it seemed like we skimmed over huge chunks of things that could， and should have taken entire books。 I think she was done in this world， done with these characters， and simply wanted it to end。 I understand， it just stinks that this is how we end such a cool series。It's been two years since the last book， but it doesn't matter， because the characters don't remember what happened either。 The only important things a This kind of ended with a fizzle。 It just didn't do much。 In fact， it was so fast， it seemed like we skimmed over huge chunks of things that could， and should have taken entire books。 I think she was done in this world， done with these characters， and simply wanted it to end。 I understand， it just stinks that this is how we end such a cool series。It's been two years since the last book， but it doesn't matter， because the characters don't remember what happened either。 The only important things all happen in here， and we BLITZ through it like nobody's business。 （view spoiler）[In this book we meet another intelligent species （fairies）， meet the wobbyks， meet the natites， travel a forbidden forest with a sentient head， meet the raptidons， and kill both opposing leaders。 （hide spoiler）] There simply isn't enough of a book to accomplish all of this well。I still enjoy the story。 We rise above woke culture （another reason the author gave up on the story， it wasn't woke enough to fit her style）。 It was fun， the characters were still interesting and still had a lot of emotion to unpack， we just don't have enough time in their world。 Her environmentalism is mostly pretty bland and ignored。This series is worth your time， it just ends poorly。 。。。more

I was so happy to be back with these characters， and read through this one quickly。 I may have liked a little more time with certain new characters， but satisfying end to the series。

This was the perfect conclusion to this serious。 Katherine Applegate does not hold back。 There were moments of humor and moments that made me cry。 This is officially my all time favorite middle grade series。
