Burn

By: Julianna Baggott

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam, Casey Holloway, Kevin T. Collins, Nicholas Tecosky

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with Pure, recommended by People for those who loved The Hunger Games.

With his father now dead, Partridge has assumed leadership of the Dome, one of the last few refuges from the ravaged wastelands of the outside world. At first, Partridge is intent on exposing his father's lies, taking down the rigid order of the Dome, and uniting its citizens with the disfigured Wretches on the outside. But from his new position of power, things are far more complex and potentially dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

On the outside, a band of survivors faces a treacherous journey to Dome. Pressia carries with her the key to salvation. If she can get it to the Dome, the Wretches could one day be healed and everyone might be able to put the horrors of the past behind them. Bradwell, the revolutionary, cannot forgive so easily. Despite Pressia's pleas, he is determined to bring down the Dome and hold its citizens accountable for leaving the rest of the world to burn. El Capitan, the former rebel leader, wants to help Pressia save as many lives as possible--but he's struggling to reconcile his newfound compassion with his vicious past.

As former allies become potential enemies, the fate of the world is more uncertain than ever. Will humanity fall to destruction? Or will a new world rise from the ashes?

Not bad, but not great either

While I enjoyed learning more about the back story for many survivors, I would have liked the story to end with more finite details. What about the people in Ireland? Will Our Good Mother find Forsteed? Will Weed make good on his promise? I'm left with a few more questions than I'd prefer after a trilogy.

enjoyed listening to a clean story

I love a good dystopian fantasy. The three books in this series held my interest without having porn sex authors think they have to fill the pages to sell their books.

Not entirely fulfilled

Just as it was reaching the climax it ended.
It was a good trilogy, but it really left me unfulfilled.

Burn at last

The narration fit the story line perfectly. This last book was the best of the three. I enjoyed reading it and there was enough story for my imagination.

Great story. I think it would make a good movie.

Looking forward to the next book. Hope it come out really soon. I'm thinking of who should be cast in the movie. 5 stars.
