It's been more than a year since every person over the age of fifteen disappeared from the town of Perdido Beach, California. In that time, countless battles have been fought: Battles against hunger and lies and plagues and worse, battles of good against evil, and kid against kid. Allegiances have been won, lost, betrayed, and won again; ideologies have been shattered and created anew, and the kids of the FAYZ have begun to believe that their new society is the only life they'll ever know. But now that the Darkness has found a way to be reborn, the tenuous existence they've established is likely to be shattered for good. Will the kids of Perdido Beach even survive?

After having waited for this for almost exactly a year, I was very glad to discover that it completely lived up to my expectations. I'd been a bit worried whether or not Michael Grant would be able to draw the series to a satisfying close, but I think he managed very nicely. I liked the various resolutions and how some people ended up redeeming themselves in a believable and not-too-tacky manner.

It was nice to once again pick up a book I couldn't put down - I read this in just over 24 hours and enjoyed every minute of it.
