had to finish the series but jfc xx

For being the finale, I really liked this one - Remy and Amber's narratives were a necessary writing tactic used well (a rarity which I VERY MUCH appreciated). Plus, the ending is far more than satisfying for me as a devoted reader.

However, this one still has it's weak points. The relationship between Remy and the Senator totally gave me the eek out factor - and also felt really fake at multiple points. I get it, it's a ruse for Remy, but it still felt very written. Also, that final battle was very rushed considering it all happens in the final 10% of the book. I hoped that would've been a bit more expansive.

Overall, a series well worth the read (& the smaltz).

Wow! So epic

This book didn't do what all the other post apocalyptic books did. It did a better job. I was breathless so many times. I felt Rents compassion and empathy. I felt Ambers hope and determination. This was full of fantastic secondary characters. Linette, Tex, JD, Top, Tater, Remy, etc. I could go on and on. I was torn at one point. I've been so disappointed by prior books in the post apocalyptic genre that culls all the good characters. Bravo, Kudos this author deserves it all for her imagination and ability to take me so far that I'm breathless but not gut me comp!etely. I highly recommend this series.

A satisfying ending to a must-read series...

I loved this series, Unknown (the series) is a new-adult apocalyptic trilogy. Combining lovable, capable characters with a mysterious and well written end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it premise. It freaking rocks. It was only marred by the ending, where part of it played out entirely too much like a very well-known movie…but I still loved it.

⇝Will I read more from this Author?⇜ Oh, yeah…totally will!

Sooo... my theories about this book were utter crap, basically LOL (except the one about Navis being an alien, but that one was way obvious so I can't really be like "ha! I told you so!")

I liked how the story got resolved. Everything moved crazy fast, and though at times things seemed like they were going a bit too well and like everything was a hair too easy, I couldn't really be all that mad about it. I was glad the human race was getting a break after so much hardship. The aliens deserved what they got, but I'm still a little sad that they couldn't be somewhat more open minded and live in harmony with the humans.

The decision to alternate chapters between Amber and Remy was a very interesting choice, that gave us a cool insider look into the alien operation. I liked it. Remy ended up being a much more interesting character that I first gave her credit for, so that was cool.

I'm still the biggest Ryber shipper ever and I actually awwed out loud when he asked her to marry him. I don't know if this is just me, but at times it felt like the romance aspect of the book was more of a second thought. This isn't actually a romance story, it's a story about alien invasion and human perseverance with a little romance sprinkled here and there for a bit of added heat. But I get it. It must be hard t9 find the time to get it on when you're running for your life.

All in all, it was a great conclusion to a action filled trilogy. I just would have liked a longer, more lovey-dovey epilogue. Maybe something from Rylen's POV? like Amber announcing her pregnancy or them discovering it together? That would have melted my heart, I'm sure!

I loved the charisma that the core group of characters had!

This series got better by the book. While the first was a 3.5 star book, the second was 4.5 and this third and final installment has finally earned that last half a star. Everything finally came together in this final book that was left open-ended in the past two installments and I have to say it feels really good to see it tied up so nicely.

One character I’ve had a pretty rocky relationship with over the past two books is Linette. She’s strong, confident, and kind of a shitty person. I don’t like her, but there is definitely respect for her. She does things that are questionable and a lot of the time I don’t agree with what she does and the way she treats other people, but at the same time, she does know what she’s doing.

I loved how this novel was a perfect blend of relationships and plot. I feel like a lot of the time novels either focus more on romance or more on a boring used up plot. This had the romance and had the exciting plot, but it also had compassion. There were all these characters finding companionship and love in unexpected places. Those were some of my favorite parts, just the closeness of the characters.

The unique part of the series is the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever encountered this particular blend before. The entire first book was dystopian, there wasn’t even a hint of extraterrestrials and then we get to the second book and it completely transitions into a sci-fi novel. It was really bizarre when first reading it, but I have to say I started to enjoy it more after the shift happened. I’m not complaining.

I usually have an intense hatred of duel perspective books, I just don’t see how they are helpful in most books, however, in this one it completely worked. Since our core group was separated we got to see through the points of view of best friends Amber and Remy. We got to see how they were doing while separated and could see both of their efforts throughout the war. This is one of the rare occasions where I have in fact, enjoyed a dual perspective.

It’s a fast-paced book filled with emotion and excitement. Would highly recommend reading the series and this their novel in particular.

CAN TODAY BE THE END OF 2017? 

For I want this trilogy to be the last book I read this year – I want to end this year with a trilogy that has taken over my heart, mind, body and soul over the last 27 hours it took me to get through them (I counted each one of them!).

This trilogy is one of the BEST DYSTOPIAN NEW ADULT books I have had the honor of reading this year – Loved every single character right from the first book; Unknown (Read My Review) through the trials and tribulations in the second one, Unrest (Read My Review) – and I stood with them through the conclusion.

The writing is what got hooked me into this series; and it was kept me glued in throughout the marathon reading I did – Ms. Higgins is the master of emotional manipulation, with everything she threw at the characters, they came out right at the top again and again.

Some might have found the plot line a bit convenient (even with my emotional attachment, I can’t stop my inner logic to shut up!); but I adored it. Mostly ‘cause the pacing of the story ends up being constant throughout the trilogy – something that is almost unheard of in series.

Add to the usual POV, is the POV of Amber’s best friend Remy; which was a genius stroke on the author’s side – it bought a fresh outlook to the plot that could have otherwise turned a bit chunky.

All in all, a wonderful conclusion to a trilogy that I requested to review because it was something different and it pretty much delivered, every single way!

I had been anxiously awaiting this finale. I fell in love with Rylen in book 1 and couldn't wait to see a happy ending in all this alien craziness. Although I got everything I wanted from this book, everything felt rushed. I did enjoy getting to read Remy's POV and her experiences. I still felt like i have many questions about her experience in particular. Overall I was satisfied. The story was resolved. I got the romance I wanted, although rushed. I would read the series again.

This is definitely one of the best NA series. It's more than just swoon, there's actually a great story line here, which I find a lot of NA books lack.

At first, I was like I don't know because while the series has been an awesome ride, Remy has been my least favorite character. But Higgins made me enjoy her POV more than Amber's because of the story line between Remy and the senator. Is it wrong of me to think the senator is the hottest character? You know, being alien and all, and helping to take down humanity? But he was!

Amber and Rylen were on fire as usual when they had scenes together, loved them! The friendship bonds, and the team effort to help save their world is what made this book amazing. The way people are drawn together that normally aren't during a catastrophe made this book seem all the more real. Spectacular job to Higgins, who has made this series into my top NA books!!
