Burn

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with Pure, recommended by People for those who loved The Hunger Games.

With his father now dead, Partridge has assumed leadership of the Dome, one of the last few refuges from the ravaged wastelands of the outside world. At first, Partridge is intent on exposing his father's lies, taking down the rigid order of the Dome, and uniting its citizens with the disfigured Wretches on the outside. But from his new position of power, things are far more complex and potentially dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

On the outside, a band of survivors faces a treacherous journey to Dome. Pressia carries with her the key to salvation. If she can get it to the Dome, the Wretches could one day be healed and everyone might be able to put the horrors of the past behind them. Bradwell, the revolutionary, cannot forgive so easily. Despite Pressia's pleas, he is determined to bring down the Dome and hold its citizens accountable for leaving the rest of the world to burn. El Capitan, the former rebel leader, wants to help Pressia save as many lives as possible--but he's struggling to reconcile his newfound compassion with his vicious past.

As former allies become potential enemies, the fate of the world is more uncertain than ever. Will humanity fall to destruction? Or will a new world rise from the ashes?

Not bad, but not great either

While I enjoyed learning more about the back story for many survivors, I would have liked the story to end with more finite details. What about the people in Ireland? Will Our Good Mother find Forsteed? Will Weed make good on his promise? I'm left with a few more questions than I'd prefer after a trilogy.

enjoyed listening to a clean story

I love a good dystopian fantasy. The three books in this series held my interest without having porn sex authors think they have to fill the pages to sell their books.

Not entirely fulfilled

Just as it was reaching the climax it ended.
It was a good trilogy, but it really left me unfulfilled.

Burn at last

The narration fit the story line perfectly. This last book was the best of the three. I enjoyed reading it and there was enough story for my imagination.

Sad

I loved the first book and second book in this trilogy, but walked away from this one sad and with unanswered questions. An epilog would have been nice, to answer some of them. The narrators once again did an excellent job of bringing all the characters to life, which made the end disappointing for me. If you read the first two books, you must finish it, but definitely not left with that "feel good feeling" you get when you finish a trilogy.
