I'm one of those people that need to finish a series once I start. I had to finish the Divergent series even though it just went down hill with each sentence. So, while I was unsure about Gathering Blue, I had to keep going. Also, my knight in shining armor was waiting with bated breath. He urged me...

This book did serve as a good bridge between Gathering Blue and The Giver (spoilers for both to follow). We met the blue-eyed leader of Kira's dad's village and while his name isn't given (other than Leader), it's heavily hinted that's it's Jonas from The Giver. Although, it could be the baby he s...

Finally I managed to get my hands on this series that I have been pining after for a long time.The messenger connects the first two story in a way I wouldn’t have imagined to be possible.

Great storyline. I love how it used the characters from the last book and kept the storyline going. I can't wait to read the next book.

Gathering Blue seemed to be just filler that I hoped set the stage for a great conclusion in Messenger. I found Messenger, however, to be completely unsatisfying, with plot t...

I loved that this book visited characters we already knew. We met Matty in Gathering Blue as a small boy. Now we get to see him as a young man. He’s outgrown some of his childish ways and awaiting his true name. We learn more about Seer, Kira’s father, in this book as well. We even get to see Jonas ...

The Messenger is another solid companion to The Giver and Gathering Blue. I loved seeing Matty as a more grown-up character and liked how Jonas, Gabe and Kira all play their own roles in the story.I was a little disappointed in the end. It's definitely emotional, but it took 90% of the book to lead ...

he contents of this particular book should have been the one to answer the most questions that I had regarding Son. Messenger introduces the almost utopia to which Jonas and Gabe flee to at the end of The Giver, and the place that Claire journeys to in pursuit of her son. We are offered the closest ...
