Light by Michael Grant

Light (Gone, #6)

by Michael Grant

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 6 in the series that Stephen King calls a `driving, torrential narrative'.

All eyes are on Perdido Beach. The barrier wall is now as clear as glass and life in the FAYZ is visible for the entire outside world to see. Life inside the dome remains a constant battle and the Darkness, away from watchful eyes, grows and grows . . . The society that Sam and Astrid have struggled so hard to build is about to be shattered for good. It's the end of the FAYZ. Who will survive to see the light of day? This is the nail-biting finale to the GONE saga.

The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best.

Have you got all 6 titles in the New York Times bestselling saga: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, Fear, and Light?

`I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent' Stephen King

If you love GONE, be sure not to miss Michael's new series Front Lines - it's WWII but not as you know it! The first book is Front Lines, followed by Silver Stars. Michael Grant also has a World Book Day book, Dead of Night, which is set in the Front Lines universe and written exclusively for World Book Day 2017.

Michael Grant has lived an exciting, fast-paced life. He moved in with his wife Katherine Applegate after only 24 hours. He has co-authored over 160 books but promises that everything he writes is like nothing you've ever read before! If the Gone series has left you hungry for more from the dark genius of YA fiction, look out for the BZRK trilogy: BZRK, BZRK Reloaded, BZRK Apocalypse and the terrifying Messenger of Fear and its sequel The Tattooed Heart. Michael is a World Book Day author for 2017.

I can't believe it's over. I have been a prisoner of the FAYZ for over 4 years and to be honest I think some part of me will never escape it. "Light" is an amazing conclusion to one of the best world and character building series I've ever read. It was not my ideal ending, but then I think it would have been disappointing and incongruent with the storyline if it had been so I'm satisfied. This book certainly continued with the gory and graphic details found in the previous books, but that's part of what makes the nightmare even more real. What I will miss most of all is the characters. After sticking with them through so much, I'm just not ready to let go. My favorite character by far, and the one that I think changed the most drastically from the beginning to the end, was definitely Caine. Gaia and Drake were as creepy and terrifying as ever. Overall, I give it two thumbs up.
