By Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf The Good:-I loved getting both Dean and Josie’s perspectives with the dual POV in Savage Drift.-The development of Josie’s character in this conclusion to the trilogy amazed me. She’s struggling between what she was, what she thinks she is, and what she has the potential to become. (And to be honest: in a way aren’t we all)-Secondary characters again become small scene stealers…especially Mario.-The strength of friendship and family (even the Monument 14 redefined version) is inspiring-As with the previous books in this series, the writing style and pacing are spot on…I could not put this one down despite my desire to savor the conclusion-I was fascinated by the exploration of the long term effects of the chemical leak and how the governments were dealing with the falloutThe Not So Good:-I didn’t feel the same level of emotional intensity in Savage Drift that I did in the 1st two books in the series.-The last third of the book felt just a tad contrived, things were perhaps a bit too easy and the loose ends wrapped up faster than I’d have thought possible.Final Thoughts:I have so much love for this series! Emmy Laybourne paints a frighteningly realistic portrait of ordinary teens coming of age during an extraordinary time. The details and worldbuilding leave nothing to be desired and as I’ve long declared – the highlight of this series is the character development at which this author excels. Despite the fact that it didn’t end as strongly as I might have hoped, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this series to all lovers of YA Fiction.I’m so going to miss these kids!Note: Review copy rcvd from Publisher, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

OMG - so exciting and a perfect conclusion By Mary Bookhounds MY THOUGHTS: ABSOLUTELY LOVED ITDean, Alex and the younger kids have been safe at the camp near Vancouver, but they still want to find Josie after Niko discovers that she is still alive. Astrid is experiencing difficulties in her pregnancy but fears going to the doctor there since she has heard rumors of pregnant girls just disappearing. To save Astrid from medical experimentation, the boys devise a plan and with the help of the twins' father, the escape the camp and venture back into the states.I love that the story alternates between the different points of view of each character and Josie, in her exile as a type O monster, shows that her compassion goes beyond being a prisoner in a sea of monsters. The chemicals have morphed into a dust cloud that drifts into areas that weren't previously effected. As Jake, Astrid and Dean travel south to reach safety for the baby, Niko sets off on his own to find Josie. This part of the story becomes extremely exciting as you wonder if the group will survive the chemicals and circumstances to save Josie.Rarely do I get an ending that I wanted but still was a bit surprised at how it ended. That is exactly what happened to me in this conclusion of the Monument 14 series. The whole cast of characters are so accessible and it is heartening that these teens try to do what is right. Fans of dystopian stories are going to enjoy this one immensely. You do need to read the first two books in the series since each builds on the other. Parents: There is some violence, alcohol abuse and minor sexual situations.

Strong, gripping, and utterly predictable in the best way By Quest4GoodWriting This book was SO predictable.I predicted a tense, tight plot: bingo!I predicted that it'd be a page-turner: check!I predicted that strong characters would steal my heart: tada!Are there no dull boring plot-writers left in this world? *Sigh* I suppose I will have to succumb to the mind-blowing, gut-wrenching aftermath of reading a fantastic book. My emotions are in upheaval.If you haven't figured it out yet, I loved Savage Drift. It was just as strong as the first two M14 books and I expected nothing less from Laybourne.This time, we followed Dean and Josie's points of view (POVs.) At first I was hesitant entering Josie's head. I wasn't sure how it would fit with my current view of her. But it worked. In fact, it worked really well. I never once, in all three books or POVs, got confused as to who's head we were in. That's tough to pull off with first-person.Josie's story broke my heart. At one point, a character refers to the "O Camps" as a concentration camp, and that's almost what it was like. Her struggles with figuring out who she was internally -- monster or human -- were realistic and bittersweet. I especially loved how she saw God work. She kept praying and praying for a sign that she should end her life. Almost wanting confirmation that it was okay for her to give up and die. Finally, frustrated with His silence, she prayed for a sign that she shouldn't end her life. A sign that she should keep fighting.And that's when He answered.It was sweet. It was perfect. And it completely fit.Dean's POV was also gripping, even though we've been with him through all three books. A favorite part about Savage Drift was watching him grow up. Dean became such a leader in this book, which was a true miracle when you think back to who he'd been at the start of this whole story.Okay, we've established the characters are strong.Now, what about the plot? Weren't we all happy and safe at the end of book two?Well, not all of us. Josie! We had to rescue Josie! Not just that, but Astrid's about to pop out a baby and that's a scary thing for a seventeen-year-old to handle, especially when the government is kidnapping pregnant women.I never got bored with this book. I read it in a day. I admit, when I first picked it up I thought it would be hard to make the plot as tight or interesting as the first two. But Savage Drift gets into the government's reaction to all the chaos. What are they doing about it? What are they hiding? And what are all these experiments they keep stealing people for?CONS:Please keep in mind that these cons are based on my subjectivity and my preferences. I share them in the hopes that they will help other readers with similar interests know what to expect.There was some violence I could have done without. You know, ripping out guts by the handful and repetitive stabbing. That sort of thing. Also, certain steps of intimacy bother me in YA books. A couple has sex, but the writing is not gratuitous. I just don't like the message that sixteen-year-olds should sleep together if they're in love.Overall, the book was fantastic. The entire series has left me impressed. And what a sweet ending! I won't give anything away, but it concluded everything that needed to be concluded and left me sad to say goodbye, but fully satisfied. I recommend it for older teens and up.I rate this a four star mostly because I'm a pretty tight stickler with that five-star rating. A five-star book needs to blow my mind in ten million different directions and then stick with me forever. Savage Drift just blew it in one million. ;) If Amazon had half star ratings, I'd give it a 4.5
