![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t know what to expect with this final chapter but frankly I think it succeeds in topping off the series perfectly. I loved the Forest of Hands and Teeth but thought the Dead Tossed Waves was even better. Without too much plot description, the four are eventually reunited and share a strange imprisonment on an island full of recruiters where Catcher is used as a forager with the lives of the others constantly held over his head by way of incentive! The action in this novel increases as the hoardes of unconsecrated, awakened during Catcher and Gabry’s escape from the Recruiters in No.2, descend upon the unsuspecting inhabitants of the Dark City and cause havoc in their wake. She hasn’t sunk so low that she can’t stop and help others. ![]() She is tough and can look after herself but she’s managed to retain her own sense of being. Annah has grown up in the Dark City with Elias (who you may remember from the DTW) who has now been gone for 3 years after signing up to become a recruiter. This book is told by Annah (twin sister to Gabry (or Abi) from the Dead Tossed Waves). This review will definitely contain spoilers for the first two novels so please do not read unless you’ve read the other two (unless of course you don’t mind plot spoilers – in which case press on!) It was gripping, thrilling, exciting and horrible, dark and twisted. Just finished reading the Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan and what a totally breathtaking book this is. ![]()
