Liked the concepts of some of the stories - and for that it gets a pick.
However, I am learning that short stories may not be for me as it sometimes feels a little too "short". Enjoyed Tower of Babylon, Story of your Life and Liking What You See.

I'd listened to a few of these stories before but they work much better as a collection, with the continuing themes of Jem's search for the lost Herondale, and his eternal love for Tessa and Will. Also there are two extra stories only in the print version! It's very much NOT an entrance into the series, but some enjoyable fan service as well as background info for future series.

(Not the tagged book) this was such an amazing and empowering book about Gloria who finds herself dumped by her husband for a younger model and then thrust out of the dystopian bunker complex into what she believes will be a nightmare dystopia. In fact, she‘s being lied to and she has to figure out what matters most to her. Check trigger warnings for sure, but it‘s overall an excellent read.

I read this to see if I could gift it to my granddaughter for Xmas. She 9 plays soccer, volleyball, and cheers… so she‘s outgoing and adventurous… but I don‘t know if it‘s appropriate for her age due to scary ghosts and what happens in the book so I need your help… if you think it‘s appropriate please send me your opinions thank you for your help 😊📖

Now this book of the series was better! For a YA dystopian some parts are a bit intense, creepy and just very unsettling the way Michael Grant describes things. The eyeball situation was almost too much for me. ? Though the mental imagery for the ending standoff with a "baby" made me laugh a little. That was a weird scenario for sure. I think adding in the additional point of view of what is happening on the outside made it better as well.

This is so good. Everyone should read it. Not sure how I got tricked into another time travel book but this is probably the best.

As the third in the trilogy I think it really stuck the landing but the journey to get there was a tad too long in this installment. It‘s actually taken me a day or so to really sit with the fact that my time with this world and these characters is over.
