When I first started this book and saw that it was in alternating chapters of Remy and Amber, I wasn’t sure what to think about this, since the first two books were just from Amber’s perspective (until the very end of Unrest, of course). I can see why adding Remy’s perspective was necessary, considering they are now separated.

Surprisingly, I actually found Remy’s chapters even more interesting than Amber’s. I mean, she was in the enemy base, interacting with the Baelese! I very much enjoyed her chapters after all. Reading about life inside the enemy base, for both humans and the Baelese, was intense.

I, of course, enjoyed Amber’s chapters as well, but I think Remy’s were my favourite.

Wendy, you almost killed me at the end there! How dare you do that! Omg – that’s all I will say.

Everything about this book was just so good, just as the first two were. I love Wendy Higgins. I love her books. I love this series as individual books and as a whole. I re-read Unknown and Unrest in anticipation of this final book and I fell in love with them all over again. Highly recommend this series and this author to anyone who appreciates a good story!

Amazing

Why is this not a movie? One of the best of this genre. It was so stinking good. I could not put it down. Ok was I the only one who felt bad for the senator? This was a fantastic ending to an amazing series. Sad it's over.

I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. Review and blog Tour can be found on *Milky Way of Books*

One of the best NA post-apocalyptic books I read this year! You can't help but fall in love with all the characters Wendy creates! There's always a fear present, the sense of despair and maybe lost chances, but in "Undone" Wendy brings also the slight hope.

This book is told through two POVs: Amber and Remy. Both are in different positions and both have to face the aliens and their truly horrific environment. I also couldn't decide if there was truly a love triangle here, until the end where I was relieved.

Read this series! You can't miss this chance!

Thrillingly chilling, Undone absolutely nailed it when it came to bringing the anxiety, the danger, and the intrigue to this tale, and gave a satisfying conclusion to the Unknown trilogy. After the unforeseen twist ending in book two, the fear for what it would mean for our beloved characters was palpable, and there was a distressed feeling between its last page and this first one. And it was brilliantly deviant to bring half of our characters into enemy territory and inhabit that world, to bring a side of this war we hadn't gotten any glimpses of before, almost humanizing the opposition in a time when you thought your mind was already made up.

With so much to fit into a final chapter with this much build-up, it wasn't surprising that it never lulled and was just as jam-packed as each installment before it. Splitting the story between Amber and Remy, two women so opposite one another, gave such depth to what each character had to offer. Remy has had her challenges on this journey, and to see her finally gain a bit of spotlight, to find her strengths when her confidence had always been so low, and to bring out her inner warrior was amazing to witness. Being scared for her but witnessing her brave shots in the dark was powerful, but altogether stressful. I couldn't have imagined, back in book one, this would be where both of these women would end up, but it worked. Each chapter played so well with the one after it.

Undone was an edge-of-your-seat read; one that scandalized your own feelings about the enemy, that brought out conflicting wants for bloodshed, and that played with your emotions of the possibility of forever. Sci-fi isn't a genre most read when thinking of the romance genre, but there was such a payoff for the risks this author took to bring this story to life. For a story about war and a world stripped of its conveniences, it gave a beloved tension-filled romance, a powerful friendship of two women, and a rag-tag group of fighters with heart, all in one riveting series.

**Received an early copy; this had no bearing on my opinions**

I feel like it has been a while since I have marked every book in a series as 5 stars, but this trilogy really earned all of those stars for me. This final book goes back and froth between two viewpoints, Amber as in the first two, and then Remy, her best friend. Since Remy and Tater and Linette were all captured by the aliens at the end of book two, we had to follow them to find out how they would survive all of this. And in a way, their story was often the one that kept me going, quickly reading through Amber's parts to get back to them. Mainly because Remy was set up in a way that she had to deal with the leader of the aliens, the man who also happened to be the Senator that everyone respected and looked up to so much in the first book. It turned out he was one of the aliens. But he had been with the humans his whole life basically, and felt a connection with Remy. She was able to use that connection to try to find things out to help her friends. In this story we had the other crew, Amber and Rylen and the others from the military base in Alaska now, that were doing their best to plan a way to take the aliens down, before more came from their home planet. We find out there are pockets of human resistance all over the world, and they learn to communicate with very old technology, keeping the aliens, for the most part from figuring out or noticing.

If I can find a way to get these books for my school library, I will definitely do it, as I think my students would enjoy this series as much as I did.

6++ Stars
Best NA trilogy I have ever read! I have a major book hangover right now.
This series is a definite must read.
It has everything, has you on the edge of your seat wanting more. I won’t give anything away but this series has been amazing and I hope Wendy writes more books like this.

*3.5* So many missed opportunities for a fabulous ending!! Oh well, I still liked the overall series for basic entertaining reading.

You must read this series in order. It’s an alien invasion, apocalyptic, world-changing story. There will be spoilers in my review for book one and two, so I recommend reading those first!

It has a YA feeling to it. Lack of character depth and skimming lightly over details that could have made this series amazing. All the characters are back from book one and two. Chapters have individual POV, so that was nice. However, it ended so abruptly, and the almost "Will Smith, Independence Day" movie ending was silly. And

Spoiler

pig latin, really?? That’s how we win over the aliens?

I really wanted more into the relationship between

Spoiler

Remy and The Senator/Bahntan. This could have been SO GOOD. It felt like the author skipped over this incredibly confusing relationship because she wasn’t sure how to make it turn out ok. I would have LOVED to have seen Bahntan and Remy fall in love. I understand it’s a bit of a love triangle with Tater, but it felt like it had so much more promise and depth than the other relationships. Bahntan felt for the humans, he had a part of himself that craved to allow his emotions free like humans did. He was also a mass murderer, so there is that.

I actually really liked Remy in this story. She was the annoying friend in the past series, but she really blossomed here. I also liked that the author didn’t make her a badass. She was still Remy, regular human woman, forced to work closely with the aliens that killed her family, friends and a huge chunk of the world population.

The whole thing with the alien mating cycle just felt gimmicky. I can’t imagine a powerful group like this basically allowing themselves to become so vulnerable for a week. They had evolved out of basic pesky emotions why wouldn’t they have just used artificial insemination as well? It just didn’t make sense to me. Also, I loved the kids. I wanted more with the kids!

I found it really interesting that the aliens wanted to make us all one.

Spoiler

The aliens destroyed the reproductive organs of most of the women of child-bearing age. They only approved of humans procreating cross race with the ultimate goal of making everyone blended and the same. No unique religions, no unique skin colors, no unique cultures. Everyone would speak the same language, look the same, and all emotions would be “bred” out of us. So eventually, we’d be just like the aliens. Robotic and cold with simmering emotions held tightly together and hidden.

So all in all, this series had some wonderful ideas, but it lacked finesse. It read too much like a group of immature high schoolers trying to save the world. The romances were believable, but I needed more from them. I wished the author would have dug deeper into the ending. How did the rest of the world survive? What has happened with the governments? How is Earth recovering from all the poisoning the aliens did to bodies of water? Animals? Nuclear energy, food production, clothing production? I have so many questions.

Original review on Julalicious Book Paradise

I do not know where to begin this review. I've been working for days on it because there's so much I'd love to say and yet, I have to stop myself because I do not want to spoil the conclusion to this series for anyone.

The story picks up where the Unrest left us hanging where we were still unsure of the character's future. Undone is told from Amber and Remy's point of views which was perfect due to the team being separated and it made more sense to actually see two sides of the story as Amber and Remy are both different kind of people and you got to see how this war is affecting them differently.

Since we followed most of the series through Amber’s eyes, it was a nice change to see it from Remy’s because even if she has always been the most outgoing one of the two, I feel like she’s also the most sensitive one and as she struggles with pretending to be on the enemy’s side to survive, she gets to see a lot more than she anticipated, to feel a lot more than she ever believed. I liked that we got to see a lot more of this enemy through her because you get learn more about them too.

With Amber, you follow the war through the preparation the humans are doing to win their planet back. How they were ready to die for the cause and how much there was to gain if they did win that war. From her point of view, you can see how every human are trying to get ready for it and how focus they are to find everything that could help them, but you also get to see that in this chaos, humans need some time for themselves to simply appreciate the time they have because nothing is certain. In those moments, you get to see Amber embrace what she has left and the hopes of what their future in the end.

I don’t think a character will leave you without feelings. Whether you like or hate them, not one of them will leave you indifferent throughout this book. And I like that because it means the writer just gave us interesting characters that made this story even more fun to read.

There wasn't a dull moment in this book as you keep wanting to go to the next chapter and the one after that, etc. So much is happening so fast that you want to know what will happen next. You want to be sure you don’t miss a sentence of the book as the ending is near and you want to know what will happen to the characters.

Overall, this book was an amazing conclusion to this series and for me, this was a 5 stars series all the way.

I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This was a wonderful conclusion to the series. Part of me wants to read it again, part of me wants another book, and part of me wants both!

Perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy! Review Originally Posted On: Taylor Fenner's Bookish World

Amber, Tater, Rylen, and Remy and the gang are back for the final book in the Unknown Trilogy and I was so excited to see how this amazing trilogy would be wrapped up.

I was a little unsure going in how I would like alternating between Amber and Remy's perspectives because I wasn't as invested in Remy in the last book but I actually almost found myself liking Remy's side of the story even more than Amber's.

While Amber, Rylen, and the rest of the human/military personnel are back in Alaska planning how to take down the Baelese once and for all Remy, Tater, and Linette are living in enemy territory under the Baelese rule. At every turn you're wondering if the Baelese are going to find out that Remy, Tater, and Linette aren't actually "DRI" sympathizers and worrying about their fates if they break one of the Baelese's insane rules (especially the crazy no-touching rule).

In Alaska, Amber, Rylen, and the others are prepping for war, trying to take back the military base, and communicating with other allies while trying to stay under the radar so they Baelese don't know what they're planning.

As tensions grow thicker and the two halves of the story converge it will be a heart-racing fight to take back Earth and I loved every single minute of it! I was addicted to the first book and really liked the second book but Undone completely blew me away! (P.S. I was completely right on who the leader of the Baelese was! I guessed it from book 1!)

Undone is sexy, action-packed, and will have you holding your breath with worried anticipation until the story's unbelievable climax. As a whole this trilogy perfectly took you on a journey. Book one gave you Amber's background and secret feelings for Rylen and the events leading up to the Baelese invasion and the dark first days/weeks that followed. Book two showed you the new "normal" and how humanity could react and turn on itself when what we should be doing is pulling together. And book three showed resilience and then recovery.

I liked that Undone was able to close out the trilogy without a mass of senseless casualties of major characters. Sometimes, especially on tv shows, you reach the final season (or in this case book) and a screenwriter (or author in this case) starts killing off major players so they don't have to have as many storylines going but thankfully Wendy Higgins kept most of the group alive which made me happy. There is one death toward the beginning of the book which is upsetting although I hardly remember that character from the previous books (they just didn't make much of an impression on me) and one toward the end that's shocking but all in all I like that she decided to keep most of the casualties to nameless background characters.

What surprised me most was how much I kind of liked the chemistry dancing between Remy and the leader of the Baelese. Even though I love Tater, reading those scenes were pretty awesome.

Overall, I was completely satisfied with this book from beginning to end and I recommend this trilogy to everyone because before I read the first book I would have told you I didn't like this genre, but I find that Wendy Higgins is such a phenomenal author that she could read any genre and I would love it!
