AN AMAZING FINISH TO AN INCREDIBLE TRILOGY
Reviewed in Australia on 19 December 2021
Easily a classic by today’s standards, (but does it stand up to GREAT EXPECTATIONS?) one could argue that book one had way more frequent cliff hanger plot twists than book three and yet clearly book three was the superior reading experience. The ending was sublime, it was perfect, I didn’t want it to end. But it didn’t make me emotional at all. I found that disappointing.The overall message of the book is the trilogy’s true worth and in fact it is Mr Ness’s actual gift to all those lucky enough to read it.Todd, Viola and the Mayor. 1017 and <<SPOILERS>> . The Mayor grew the most, his character was delectably brilliant, someone you loved to hate. And even at the end you felt the same way. Did Todd and Viola grow? I know their love did. Todd’s ability to stand up to the Mayor was a skill he developed but it was still the same old Todd. In some ways the story flew by so fast it was all Viola (and others) could do to hang on. There was death, of course there was death, in a book about war.Other characters came and went, it all came down to the climax and it’s a doosie. But it’s over, I’m still here, my life hasn’t changed and it’s time to move on. Congratulations must go to Mr Ness though. What a ride.
