Book of the Lost: AAV-07d25-11 by V.E.S. PullenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Trekking Through The Wilderness
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I thought this book was the last in the series, but there is definitely more to come, I just don’t know how many books and when they are due to come out. This annoys me as I really want to know what happens next as soon as possible!
This book mainly consists of getting out of Salem and trying to get to safety. It felt a lot more linear than the previous two books, with fewer layers being peeled back. However, all series have to have some books that are less complex than others, if only to give the reader’s brain a rest, but also to get the plot done, getting from point A to point B in order to make progress in the narrative. This is what this book felt like. It felt like this book was all about going from the known quantity that is Salem to the unknown of the outside world and all the issues that Azzie will face without being a captive.
This book does have some scenes with Mouse in flashback to explain her a little bit because she is a bit of a mystery in the other two books. She is only seen through Azzie’s eyes in her role as her best friend and protector, which gives a slightly skewed point of view of who she is as a character.
There is a lot more passion in this book. It started on Azzie’s 18th birthday which felt a little obvious to me, as though it was ok for 24-year-olds to be involved with her now she was 18 as opposed to the day before when she was 17!
I did feel that things were a mite unrealistic given that Azzie had been in a fever that nearly killed her, leaving her unconscious in hospital for a week, only getting out a few days before going on a marathon trek through the wilderness in cold and wet weather, and this was on top of her existing health issues. I think it would have been more believable if they’d had to give her a piggyback ride.
We do find out a lot more about the triplets lives outside Salem, which is fun.
I can’t wait for the next book to come out because there is so much story still left to be told about these fascinating characters.
