Now whether or not this book or I should say this series will be read in 100 years from now, I doubt that this whole series will be read in 100 years. Maybe they will read the first book, but to finish the whole series you would have to be really interested from the first to continue the rest. There where some confusing parts throughout each book because what the author does is switch to every character's point of view. One time when Luke and Matthias were separated in the story and it randomly talks about Luke's side of the story right after talking about Matthias. I had to re-read some parts just to make sure who it was discussing because it doesn't really give enough information on who they're talking about. However, there are lots of twists and action throughout each book and that pretty much saves it. Maybe there will be those who are interested in those types of stories and will want to read this whole series. I can't speak for everyone especially those who will live beyond me. If you are interested in this then by all means give the first book a chance and I hope you read the whole series and like this as much as I did if not more.

Quarter 3 SSR Reflection
For the 3rd quarter I chose to read the fictional novel Among The Free by Margaret Peterson Haddix. If you remember from my previous blog I read Among The Enemy which was the sixth sequel to the beginning which was Among The Hidden. Finally I have finished the whole series of the Shadow Children and it was pretty interesting reading all of these sequels. Among The Free was the final sequel and it was the conclusion to the whole story. Matthias and Luke are best friends throughout the whole series and are basically the main characters. They both have secretly been plotting on how to put an end to the population police and the law that started this all. They have both managed to work for the population police and they take them down from the inside. I don't want to mention how they plan it only because it spoils like half the story. However, I will say they accomplish their goal, but there many sad sacrifices throughout the journey. Especially in this final part of the series.

I like the fact that the story is told from different people's perspectives. In my opinion, people only get interested in the first or second books, but most of the times they won't keep going to the very end of the series unless it is really interesting. I feel like I would not read this series of novels because honestly I get bored of the same characters, but maybe if I tried it I will like it.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience with literature, I have never liked to read series of books because of I know I that I would would probably read the first one or two for SSR purposes then drop out. I admire your dedication throughout the series even with the confusion you faced in some of them.
