![]() ![]() ![]() In conclusion, I highly recommend this series to any regular fans of the YA market. He challenges even himself with writing in multiple time periods at once without the story feeling cluttered or confusing. Shusterman, in my opinion, is the master of switching character perspectives between chapter and he exemplifies this as well in the 2018 book, Dry. The rich plot which follows threads through the trilogy is accompanied by realistic characters who go through tangible changes while on their journey and a foreboding warning about the follies of mankind. The darker aspects of the series actually feel earned, per se, because most of the world the story inhabits is perfect for lack of a better word. Especially in the Toll, he fleshes out many parts of the world that were merely touched on in previous stories. Shusterman uses incredible world-building skills to create a universe that is near unrecognisable from our own but still feels like it could happen at some point in the future. With the recent release of the final book, the Toll, I felt the need to share this with as many people as possible. I've been turned off the genre until 2016 when I first read Scythe by Neal Shusterman. ![]() Ever since the release of the Hunger Games, the YA fiction market, in particular dystopian settings, has felt very stale. ![]()
