War is Here!!
5 out of 5 stars
I don’t know what to say about this book to do this justice!!! It was phenomenal. Everything I wanted and more.
It’s all-out war, both with the Variants and ROT! The battle for Europe is still going strong and Fitz and Apollo are knee deep in it. The Variants there are bigger, badder and harder to destroy than what they had in America, and it’s all Fitz can do to keep Team Ghost alive. Meanwhile, in America, Beckham is battered and bruised but still fighting, well just about!! Horn is trying to keep Kate safe, President Ringgold is trying to hold onto her country, safe zones are allying with ROT and things look grim, especially with the Hemorrhage Virus being used against them, but nobody will go out without a fight!!!
This book just about broke me!! I was on the edge of my seat throughout and had such a hard time putting it down, but I also didn’t want to keep reading because that meant that the series would end!! I wanted to devour it, but I didn’t, I took my time reading it and just immersed myself in the War. I felt everything these characters felt, I cried with them and I laughed with them. I gasped, I was tense and I was terrified for them, I was completely captivated by these characters and their journeys. I’m sad to see it end, but also happy with the way it ended!! Not all the characters made it, and those that did were changed completely, but that’s what makes it so good, so real!! That’s what gives this series its heart… the amazingly written characters!
The plot of this was extremely fast-paced and intense!! Right from the start, we are thrown into the action of fighting the enemy, both in Europe and America. And boy does it get tense!! So many times had me gasping and going, no, no, no, NOOOO!! Then there were times where I was biting my nails and waiting to see what would happen next, and what happened next would break my heart, but other times would leave me smiling and going, yes!!!! It was an emotional rollercoaster, but so, so worth it! I want to talk about Piero, but I can’t, I want to talk about Davis, but I can’t, I want to talk about Beckham, but I can’t!! There is so much I want to say, but I can’t because it will spoil things.
In all, Extinction War was phenomenal. As I said already, it was all I wanted and more! It even surpassed what I was expecting!! It was action-packed, intense, an edge of your seat ride, emotional, and absolutely brilliant!! My heart has been captured by these characters and I do hope we see more from them, but if the author feels that their story has come to an end, then I’m ok with that!! Horn, Beckham, and Fitz have come a long way and deserve a break 😉 Fans of the series will love this because it wraps up everything perfectly.
Seriously, guys, there are very, very few books that I recommend as passionately as I do this series. Go give them a go, you won’t be sorry!!!
Bronson Pinchot nailed his performance. He brought this to life with the emotion he put into it. Every character has their own tone and personality and I couldn’t picture anyone else as these amazing characters.
