good story

Once again DeStefano's beautiful turn a phrase make this book a joy to read. I thought the ending was very fitting and very true to the story, despite being somewhat melancholy.

A beautiful finished to a brilliant series

This final entry in the Chemical Garden trilogy finds Rhine upstairs once again in the mansion with sister wife, Cecily and husband, Linden. Desperate to find her brother, Rowen, Rhine teams up on her quest, meeting old "friends," typing up loose ends, and answering lingering questions.

DeStefano has breathed more life and emotion into each character making them more relatable and I found myself rooting for those I previously felt indifferent about. Bratty Cecily matures into a caring, thoughtful young woman; Linden becomes his own man, wriggling out from under his father's thumb; Rhine shares more of her inner thoughts and desires; and Vaughan shows myriad emotions (no spoiler alerts from me). There are gasp-worthy moments and the ending is satisfying and well done.

As one of the better YA writers, Lauren DeStefano creates an interesting premise, close to Atwood's, "The Handmaid's Tale." She imagines a haunting, eerie, yet hopeful world where the characters fight to live, find meaning, and fulfill their dreams. There's more depth and danger in her books. Truly a wonderful trilogy and wonder why it doesn't get more attention than some of the Twilight Copycats?

Fantastic Final

I struggled to finish this book. Too drawn out. The series could have been wrapped up nicely in 2 books.

The last book was not as good as the other 2.

This was an excellent story. It didn't have the ending that I wanted, but it was a proper ending and I can respect it.

Stressful ending but a great story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes if they like Dystopian style books. i would because it was wonderfully written and read.

What other book might you compare Sever to and why?

Matched, Delirium, Divergent, The Hunger Games, The Uglies, & Enclave, because they are all dustopian books.

Which character – as performed by Angela Lin – was your favorite?

She did wonderful with every character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but in this 3rd book I wanted to strangle the main character for being so dumb. I hate when authors make there characters as dumb as the girl Bella from Twighlight. It almost ruined the book for me actually.

Any additional comments?

This book was a great ending to the series! i hope to see more from this author!

(Book 3 of 3) Great Ending To The Trilogy

I definitely liked the first two books better. This one I felt like I was screaming at her the whole time lol I was so mad she wouldn’t just tell her brother what was wrong with Vaughn. But overall was really good, well written; and the ending satisfied me

Pretty good

I enjoyed the variety between each book in the series and how the end (I won’t spoil it) is written

Connect with the characters, thought provoking, inquisitive

This is a slow moving story but I loved how the characters evolved over time. There were a few twists and turns along the way so I was never bored during the story. Easy read and I never wanted to put the book down. I was so sad when the series was over, highly recommend this book if you typically like Dystopias! Kind of reminded me of the Hunger Games because its set in the future of America which has changed dramatically and has basically crumbled.

Unexpectedly Great Story

I feel like it's a brilliant story. I'm not sure why it's gotten so many negative reviews. It has a poetic vibe to it that I love and is very creative. There are small parts that could have been written better but overall I love it. My only real issue is how much Rhine blames herself for deceiving Lenden. Like come on girl you had every right to do what you did. I suppose I just wish she let him and his father know what they did to her and the other girls a little more instead of being so sorry all the time. Even with that it's a great story.

I love it
