United as One

The pace of the final battle and aftermath were nicely done. The two narrators did a great job relaying the emotions of their characters as well.

Wow. I can't believe after all this time this series is finally over. I think I can say that this was a very fitting end to the series. You can really see how the war is affecting them, especially John. The whole book was filled with John and the others being badass of course, but they really have to push themselves. It's easy to see their struggle to save the planet and stop the bad guy. Speaking of stopping the bad guy, I think the way it was done was beautifully ironic John uses healing to stop him . Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for this book because I thought the previous books kind of got progressively worser, but this one proved me wrong. I don't want to give anything else away actually one thing that kind of surprised me was that no one else dies except Setrakus and Mark but this book was an excellent ending and it will not disappoint.

I have to say, it makes me incredibly sad that there was so much controversy attached to the authors of this series. I felt guilty reading each book and ultimately deciding to finish the series and continue beyond this one after the controversy.

It makes me sad because the entire series has been a wild ride. It was a nice ride. I'm a bit conflicted by how everything turned out specifically with one incident. I don't want to read into it but it almost felt as if there could be a hidden message attached to a certain death that has occurred.

Either way, I'm going to miss this world. I haven't moved on to the other books even though I've already purchased them. Perhaps I won't miss this too much having those books waiting for me. We shall see.

Read them. You won't regret it. I wish they would have continued with the movies. They too would have been awesome.

Untuk sebuah novel fantasi endingnya gk seperti harapanku. Okeylah untuk sebuah final battle pasti ada korban jiwa atau cacat atau sakit hati. Namun kenapa ada yg mempunyai ending happily ever after sedang yg lain mempunyai ending yg pahit, bahkan no 4 sbg leader, titisan Pittacus Lore gk memiliki pengampunan untuk no 5, pdhl no 5 sdh menebus penghiatannya dgn bertempur habis2an.
No 6 bersama Sam pd akhirnya, pdhl no 6 di momen akhir ketika no 4 sdh siap mengorbankan nyawa, menarik no 4 dr medan perang & menghabisi Setrakus Ra.
Ya sdh untuk sebuah fantasi petualangan & action, John Frey dkk okey, tp untuk bumbu romancenya, kurang deh menurutku...
Akan ada spin off seri ini, menambah daftar penulis yg gagal move on selain Cassandra Clare, Rick Riordan, Brandon Mull, Soman Chainani, ....

I'm not sure what the author could have done differently, but by this point the books are being bogged down by too large a cast of characters. If each of the 9 are going to be so different in temperament, then they must have differences in their backstory. I would have preferred more insight into the individual backstories. The plot is still engaging, however.

Age range: 14+
Younger readers may find it a little too violent.
