'Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough' The New York Times

We’re here, then we’re gone, and that was true before they came. That’s always been true. The Others didn’t invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won’t end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart.

Master storyteller Rick Yancey invokes triumph, loss, and unrelenting action as the fate of the planet is decided in the conclusion to this epic series.

Review:
“She was the mayfly, here for a day, then gone. She was the last star, burning bright in a sea of limitless black.”

Wauw, that was a great way to end a series! I flew trough these books, i cant believe there isn't anything left. The Last Star is the 3rd and final book in The 5th Wave trilogy. I loved that every book had a different main character. In book 1 Cassie was the more main character, in book 2 it was Ringer and now it was more Zombie and Evan. Also in this book you also got a point of view from Nugget aka Sammie. Like the first and second book the writing was just great, you get sucked in and you can't put in down. The chapters were not to long and just like the first 2 books the story got divided with differend titels for the story part. 

I liked that this story was more from Zombie and Evan's point of view, you got the know more about how they thought about the situation. You never really got to know there thoughts and what not because everything was about Cassie her journey. I had all different emotions throughout the whole story, i was sad; excited; scared ect, it was amazing what all those characters could do to me. I liked that i still could be suprised, a character could still do things you would think he or she would never do. I am a little bit vague about it because i dont want to spoil anything. But alot of plot twist happen for all the characters and its really amazing.

But really, the story went from great to fantastic. You got to see a little bit more of the dystopian world and how everything came to be. The story was full of plot twists and things a didn't see coming, it kept me so invested in the story! Also i was an amazing way of ending the story. It wasn't like every other ending mostly use to end their stories, it was so much more. I really liked it, it also is still like you could see a few more books coming. Like how is humanity going to get through this kind of disaster and come back to its former state.All in all, it is still open to future stories.
I would totally recommend this book series!
