This is one of the only book series’ that has left me reeling after EVERY chapter.
I love this book series, it keeps you on your toes the whole time and is a truly rare specimen.
As in his preceding books, Ness offers incisive appraisals of violence, power, and human nature, and with the series complete, it s clear that he has crafted one of the most important works of young adult science fiction in recent years. Trying to overcome their anger, hatred, and fear, each must confront the reasons why in a place of all this beauty and potential. Todd and Viola, along with the Return, an embittered former Spackle slave, find themselves in positions of increasing power and are faced with a variety of complex and ambiguous moral decisions, any one of which may lead to wholesale destruction. Meanwhile, a convoy of ships is approaching the planet, bringing still more human colonists, though it isn t clear that there will be anything left to settle when they arrive. Three armies stand poised for battle, one controlled by the murderous but charismatic Mayor a second headed by the equally Machiavellian terrorist, Mistress Coyle the third led by the Sky, leader of the indigenous telepathic race known as the Spackle. Quite easily one of the best YA trilogies I’ve read as an adult, and an easy recommendation to anyone out for an epic read.The Chaos Walking trilogy comes to a powerful conclusion in this grueling but triumphant tale. There’s not much I can say without spoiling the whole story but, I have to admit, at one point I was close to throwing the book at the wall – I was that rattled by the events occuring. I wasn’t capable of reading it on my own, there was simply too much to discuss, to know and all she would say was ‘keep reading’. Not only did I live and breathe Todd and Viola’s lives for those three days, I insisted on writing a commentary for a friend who had already read the books. I genuinely could not put this book down – it was that good! Instead, I was thrown back into New Prentisstown with all the drama and imagination that came along with it. Once again, Patrick Ness managed to ruin my life for the three days I spent reading this book. I can’t even begin to describe the emotions I went through whilst reading this book.
As the battles commence, how can they hope to stop the fighting? How can there ever be peace when they’re so hopelessly outnumbered?Īn epic ending to an epic trilogy. Todd and Viola are caught in the middle, with no chance of escape. Synopsis: Three armies march on New Prentisstown, each one intent on destroying the others.
