About this listen
The final book in Katharine McGee's epic New York Times best-selling Thousandth Floor series
When you have everything, you have everything to lose.
Welcome back to New York, 2119. A skyscraper city, fueled by impossible dreams.
Leda just wants to move on from what happened in Dubai. Until a new investigation forces her to seek help - from the person she’s spent all year trying to forget.
Rylin is back in her old life, reunited with an old flame. But when she starts seeing Cord again, she finds herself torn: between two worlds, and two very different boys.
Calliope feels trapped, playing a long con that costs more than she bargained for. What happens when all her lies catch up with her?
Watt is still desperately in love with Leda. He’ll do anything to win her back - even dig up secrets that are better left buried.
And now that Avery is home from England - with a new boyfriend, Max - her life seems more picture-perfect than ever. So why does she feel like she would rather be anything but perfect?
Perfect for fans of Kiera Cass and Anna Godbersen, and with all the drama, romance and hidden secrets from The Thousandth Floor and The Dazzling Heights, this explosive finale will not disappoint.

Princess Samantha is already bored of her own graduation party. She swears she isn’t looking for trouble, but when the king and queen are away, the spare will play.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story
An American girl finds her prince in this "fun and dishy" (People) royal romance inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton. American Bex Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and Bex who finds herself accidentally in love with the heir to the British throne. Nick is wonderful, but he comes with unimaginable baggage.

Story
Seven years on the run from her abusive father, and with no hope of sanctuary among the dwindling pockets of human civilization, Lark is out of options. Her only leverage is a cursed power: she can thrust fear onto others, leaving all threats fleeing in terror. It’s a means of survival as she searches for a place to call home. If the campfire myths of her childhood are true, Lark’s sole chance for refuge could lie in Cagmar, the city of trolls—a brutal species and the sworn enemies of humanity.

Story
Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in - it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly White, northern California town. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi - or Izzy, because “it’s easier this way” - and her mom against the world. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity...and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess.

Five Star Review
The final installment of The Thousandth Floor series does not disappoint. Another death leads to more secrets to reveal in this futuristic story about a group of teens who are connected by a dangerous web. Katharine McGee has done a fantastic job of building her world in this series. You want to hop into those hover cars to the floors above or take a quick trip across the ocean in a matter of hours. It's so realistic that you can picture this world of technological advancements as if it's just outside your window.
This final installment is filled with so many twists and turns it'll leave you saying to yourself "what just happened" multiple times and leave it to the last two hours when everything falls apart that you realize you're not sure if anyone will make it out alive.
The characters have developed so well in this trilogy and by the end you will wish you could be friends with them all. I'm going to miss these crazy teenagers but hopefully we'll get to see them again. I'll definitely be revisiting them in a future re-read! :)
I love the narrator of this series! She does a great job of portraying each character uniquely enough that you can tell whose chapter you're currently listening to. It's difficult with multiple POV's but Phoebe did fantastic!

Did not disappoint
Nothing kills my fan girl harder then a trilogy that starts out strong and ends horribly. This one just kept getting better and better. I loved all three books and it ended in a really satisfying way. I’m impressed. This is what all YA should aspire to be like.
