Kira was, as she has been through the series, an intelligent, capable narrator. I wish we could have spent more time with her. From a thematic and loose-ends-tying perspective, he was absolutely necessary, but he seemed to come out of nowhere for me, and not always in a good way.) The different POVs were much stronger in Ruins than in Fragments, and I especially enjoyed Ariel and her near-all-consuming rage toward Nandita. I’m still not certain what to think about the Blood Man thing. Most of the plotlines had been set up nicely in the previous book, but there were also a few mysteries and surprises that popped up. There is a lot going on in Ruins, and Wells did an excellent job of following a ridiculous number of plotlines and characters without making the book feel disjointed. (At one point, I thought Dan Wells wouldn’t dare and then I immediately thought Of course he would, and then he did, and I was both thrilled and filled with despair.) I adored the opening chapter-the Partials’ relentless hunt for Kira and their attempt to force the other humans to give her up was chilling and set the mood for the rest of the book. Review: The final book of the Partials Sequence had everything I hoped it would: lots of people being clever, a strong command of multiple plotlines and POVs, philosophical discussions about what it means to be human, great action sequences, and lots of death. She has one chance to save both species and the world with them, but it will only come at great personal cost. Both sides hold in their possession a weapon that could destroy the other, and Kira Walker has precious little time to prevent that from happening. There is no avoiding it-the war to decide the fate of both humans and Partials is at hand. Summary: Kira, Samm, and Marcus fight to prevent a final war between Partials and humans in the gripping final installment in the Partials Sequence, a series that combines the thrilling action of The Hunger Games with the provocative themes of Blade Runner and The Stand. Genres: Post-apocalyptic, Science-fiction, Action/Adventure
Title: Ruins (The Partial’s Sequence, Book 3)
