A review by mayajoelle
The Last of the Lost Boys by N.D. Wilson

4.0

Every time I read an NDW book, I am astounded by his genius.

Somehow he managed to take a series that I thought already had a good ending, twist it up into even more time-traveling confusion, and end it on a masterful note.

My favorite part was older Sam + Glory's relationship. I didn't like Rhonda very much. Also, the time traveling in this book is even more confusing than in the previous ones, and I wasn't happy with some of the consequences of that.

I still love this book.

Even if they were able to change everything about that night, he and Glory had made enough mistakes together to learn that some of the darkest deeds in history accidentally handed victory to goodness. And when he had randomly doled out preemptive justice to villains before their villainy occurred, trying to make every past moment a paradise, he could accidentally tip the scales the wrong way. Retribution was for the end of time, and final justice was well beyond both his wisdom and authority.
