Liked the way this tied the series together
I thought this was an interesting end to the series. I am pretty positive that as a young teen I read and enjoyed The Giver and Gathering Blue, but I don't remember ever progressing further in the series (perhaps it wasn't out yet when I "graduated" to adult books, a choice I think made me miss out on a lot of good books, because I thought that was the goal) So from my previous perspective the stories were alike in that they were vaguely dystopian but not more interconnected than that. Messenger and then this one pulled them all together in a way I really enjoyed. Were somethings convenient? Sure, but I didn't think overly so, and I was happy with the overall tone of the ending.
