The Toll Book 3 by Neal Shusterman (2019)

Story: 9 of 10 Stars

So!! This is a series I honestly haven’t been able to put down since i finished the first one. It was such a lively concept of a book from the first. A world struggling with overpopulation, not enough resources, and no where to go, so in come the scythes. My deepest appreciation for the final chapter of the series is the in-depth world building and all those missing layers from the first two books, finally colliding and giving us the full picture. The constant cycle repeating itself, and the only way out is to start your own cycle somewhere far above us (Gotta keep it vague for those who are going to read it 😉)

Like with every series, there are things I didn’t particularly like, but what I found most charming in this case, was how the things I didn’t like or necessarily agree fully with, more felt like building upon the world within these pages and less like pandering, unlike many other works. Just like the thunderhead, I am sad to see this story end. But, in time, I look forward to reading more pieces of excellent writing from this author.
