Welcome to Litsy!

Now that was a good ending. I think the last books of the original series were better than the beginning for sure. Often unsettling and weird but definitely entertaining. I was glad that the author gave some of the characters as decent of an ending as he could with everything they went through in the FAYZ.

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.

Have you ever read a series that you don't even know if you actually like it or if you just have to know what crazy thing happens next? That's where I'm at with the Gone series by Michael Grant. So many things happening at once

Wow, I need to read first four books before this one😬when????🤷🏽‍♀️

I‘m late! For day 1 of #tarottakeover I‘m going very literal: the book Fear by Michael Grant to represent Nine of Swords (def a card for the world mood).

Fear is the 5th book in the excellent Gone series about a bunch of kids trying to survive after everyone over age 15 suddenly disappears. In this book, their world literally goes dark, & lots of additional fear & anxiety sets in.

I read this (YA!!) series 9 years ago & still think about it.

Well, it had to happen at some point. I just didn't like this one like the others with the egregious violence and the cloying personalities from those like the Charmer who kills for humor, and yet weren't funny themselves. This one just didn't do what the others did and I found the new characters more irritating than interesting...all but Armo, he can stay.

I am so glad I waited to read this series until all the books came out. It would have driven me crazy to wait and see what happened next. What I will say about this author, no one is safe, no one.

You know you have a good series on your hand when you are about to finish book 5 and know that‘s ok because there are 4 more.

This is my favorite of the Gone series so far. I like how the author basically threw out the rules and brought in new characters to disrupt the narrative. Lots of new going one her with lots of new characters. I am looking forward to seeing more of this and love how the author throws the reader off balance all over this book!

Okay, I liked Monster, but I LOVED Villain! It has everything Michael Grant is best at: high tension, bloody battles, super fast super tight plot, the POV changing often. And I devoured it 😍
