My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:

4.5 out of 5.0 stars

The very worst thing about this book is it feels like an afterthought. This book is where you finally realize that “The Giver” and “Gathering Blue” are part of a trilogy and the characters come together in this story. However, it doesn’t seem to fit quite right. It seems to me as though the first book was written as a stand alone novel, but was ambiguous enough at the end that she could tie “Gathering Blue” to it when she decided she wanted to write another book to go with “Gathering Blue.” Was that confusing? O_o

The very best thing about this book is that it’s still as interesting, entertaining, thought provoking, and amazing as the pervious books. Thank goodness for that!! :-D
