Fallen World #3
The Worlds We Make
The virus has taken away Kaelyn’s friends, her family, her home.
And now a deadly enemy threatens to take the one hope she has left: The Cure.
When Kaelyn and her friends reached Toronto with a vaccine for the virus that has ravaged the population, they thought their journey was over. But now they're being tracked by the Wardens, a band of survivors as lethal as the virus who are intent on stealing the vaccine no matter what the cost.
Forced onto the road again, Kaelyn and her companions discover the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta is their best hope for finding scientists who can reproduce the vaccine. But with the virus already spreading among them, the Wardens hot on their trail, and hundreds of miles to cross, Kaelyn finds herself compromising her morals to keep her group alive. Her conscience seems a small price to pay if protects them and their precious cargo. Unless even that is not enough...
In the final installment in Megan Crewe’s captivating the Fallen World trilogy, Kaelyn is on the run from her biggest adversaries yet. While she continues to face horrific loss, her resolve is still strong. But to survive this shattered world, will she have to sacrifice all that's left of the girl she was?

About the author
Megan Crewe
22 books832 followersLike many authors, Megan Crewe finds writing about herself much more difficult than making things up. A few definite facts: she lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and son (and does on occasion say "eh"), she tutors children and teens with special needs, and she's spent the last six years studying kung fu, so you should probably be nice to her. She has been making up stories about magic and spirits and other what ifs since before she knew how to write words on paper. These days the stories are just a lot longer.
Megan's first novel, GIVE UP THE GHOST, was shortlisted for the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. Her second, THE WAY WE FALL, was nominated for the White Pine Award and made the International Reading Association Young Adults' Choices List. Her Fallen World trilogy (THE WAY WE FALL, THE LIVES WE LOST, THE WORLDS WE MAKE) is now complete and she has a new trilogy forthcoming in October 2014, beginning with EARTH & SKY. Her books have been published in translation in several countries around the world. She has also published short stories in magazines such as On Spec and Brutarian Quarterly.

A note for those who may be interested: If you finished THE WORLDS WE MAKE wondering what happens after, I've released a collection of stories from the POVs of three secondary characters, set in the aftermath. Details here: http://www.megancrewe.com/FallenWorld...

The books definitely progressed a lot from the first book to this one which I really liked because the book didn't feel stale. I loved the characters at first they were a bit bland but as the book went on they got their personal development which was good. Gavin, anika, and tobias didn't make it until the end which was a bit lame but made the story more interesting. Both tobias and gavin die because of the "friendly flue" and anika being shot because of the raiders who are Obviously scared and just care about themselves. The whole series was fun to read it gave me a good insight as to what would happen if a whole crazy virus were to take over the world and the Government shuts down and everyone is fending off for themselves.

2.5 stars - Spoilers
The ending was pretty good, everything else wasn't so good. I was bored most of the way through probably because things were a little too repetitive and dragged out. The first two-thirds could have been cut down to a couple of chapters, it really wouldn't have affected the overall story.
-What's what: Deadly disease, killed most of the population, everyone left either desperate or corrupt. Kae and her friends have a vaccine, they need to travel across America and avoid the bad guys so they can deliver it to the CDC and make more, and thus stop all the death and madness.
-Most of the book was basically a drawn out road trip. The only mildly engaging aspect was that Kae and co would every now and then come up against some sort of obstacle — illness, bad guys, rubbish weather, etc. But after a couple of obstacles it started to get boring. It was all rather unimaginative and dull.
Once Kae and co were captured by Michael and his Wardens then things got slightly more exciting. The power play between Michael and Kae was interesting to read about and the resolution at the end was realistic and done well.
-I had mixed feelings for Kaelyn, she was competent and did what was necessary but she was also really annoying and frustrating at the same time. I really hated how Kae left Gav to die scared and alone. She didn't even try to stay with him and comfort him through his suffering. She was such a heartless, selfish cow… But I guess she only did what anyone else would do. I just felt really sorry for Gav, he was the best character in the series and he had such a horrible ending.
-I got tired of Kae banging on about right and wrong, every time she'd steal petrol or some other necessity that she needed to survive, she'd moan about how bad she was and if it was ethical. It was frustrating to read her constant questioning of herself especially when it was clear she had no other choice if she not only wanted to save herself and her friends but also the rest of the human population. She would have been more likeable if she wasn't always so guilt ridden.
-It was sad how quickly Kae moved on from Gav, it had only been a couple of days since he'd died and instead of thinking about him she was constantly worrying about Leo and what he thought of her. Her quickly getting with Leo showed how little Gav meant to her.
-Kae was so stupid announcing the way she was traveling when she knew the bad guys could listen in on her radio transmissions.
-Kae and Leo's relationship felt forced in this, I would have preferred if they'd just decided they were better off as friends. They didn't go together romantically. Also, I doubt Leo would have wanted Kae as much as he did if Tessa hadn't dumped him.
-Leo was a judgmental prick, any time Kae would make a decision that wasn't all rainbows and unicorns he'd get all judgy and disgusted. She was only doing what she had to do to survive and what she thought was best for the bigger picture. He let her make all the hard decisions, do all the dirty work, and be shouldered with all the responsibility and guilt, whilst he did nothing yet he still had the nerve to look down at her. His judgment of her was even worse because he'd done much worse when he was on his own and trying to get by.
It was okay for him to be cutthroat and merciless, but if she was anything other than pure and innocent then she was an irredeemable evul bitch. Ugh.
He was a hypocrite and a horrible friend.
-The bear scene was great, up until then everything had been miserable but that broke the dreary monotony and was rather enjoyable to read.
-I didn't buy the CDC doctor deciding who would get the vaccine and who wouldn't. For an educated doctor it was a beyond nonsensical decision to decide that the people who were behaving like criminals couldn't have the cure. Her stance was dumb for so many reasons — as a doctor she should have put her morals aside to heal the sick. Why would she be willing to let people die? Wouldn't that go against the nature of being a doctor? Also, why would she risk innocents getting infected by letting those she deemed as guilty become sick and thus spread the disease? Why would she judge people so harshly that she'd let them die when their actions stemmed from the world dying around them? Where was her compassion and understanding? Why would all her colleagues at the CDC go along with her stance? How would letting people become sick and die be controlling disease?! Yea, the whole thing made no sense.
-It was nice that Drew stuck by Kae and came through for her when she was in trouble. I thought he'd change into a douchey brother but thankfully he didn't.
-Why didn't Kae and Leo take some of the cure with them at the end so they could vaccinate the people at the colony?
All in all, the ending was pretty good but it didn't make up for the boring non stop, repetitive traveling that made up the majority of the book.

Gah!
I went to my mom's house to waste time to see that this book had been delivered early!!
I immediately started to read it once I got to school!
I liked the previous two and I like this one just as much.
A good conclusion to a good story!!
Pros:
1. The story! It was paced fairly well and there were ups and downs like the previous two and somethings were in the groups favor and others weren't, they didn't always win and when they did win, I was excited as they were. It was a fun and scary ride!
2. The conflicts of morality. Throughout the first book, Kaelyn was always trying to do the right thing so that everyone would win. There came a point where she was fed up with losing and being nice and being taken advantage and she pretty much said 'fuck it' and did what she thought she had to do and for me, that made her even more real.
3. I was always dying for answers! At many points, I was bouncing back and forth between who was trustworthy and many characters continued to surprise me.
4. Everyone was real. Everyone has fears and hopes and their own personality and none of them were just there to waste space. Everyone seemed to have some internal conflict on whether to do the right thing and what to sacrifice for the greater good and everyone, again, was real to me.
Cons:
1. GAV.
2. The relationships were good for the most part but I don't know exactly how I feel about the relationship between Kaelyn and Leo.
3. I miss the letters! The first book was my favorite because it was told in letters and I LOVE anything like that, but it was still okay. At times, I got a little distracted because it kinda slowed but besides that it was still pretty good.
Is it worth a read?
If you like the first one and the second one, then of course! It's a the conclusion to the series and it's pretty good overall!

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the finale. Usually, in books like these, everything isn't wrapped up in a bow. Because, let's face it, apocalyptic stories don't have happily ever afters. In rare cases, it does...sorta.
The Worlds We Make is a perfect example of how an apocalyptic story can have an ending that makes sense plot wise.
So much happened that I can't even explain it if I wanted to do a spoiler review. (this is a non spoiler review by the way.) Some sad things happened. Some good things happened.
I will say this though, at certain parts the story did lag for a bit but those were only short moments of traveling and planning.
Aside from that, this was a good ending to a trilogy.
Thanks for reading my review!

I've been a fan of Megan Crewe's Fallen World series for years now, and I've been dying for book three to be released. I was so honored to get to read this book early, and I've been holding my tongue about just how good it was. Now I can tell you: this book was outstanding, and the perfect end to the Fallen World series!
The premise of the Fallen World series is really unique and captivating. The concept of the friendly flu is terrifyingly realistic. To think of a virus decimating the world the way the friendly flu has in Kaelyn's world is just horrifying. Kaelyn's dad was a researcher and he created a vaccine for the virus before he died. Kaelyn has made it her mission to get the vaccine to the CDC in Atlanta, in the hopes that the CDC can make more of it and stop the spread of the virus.
Much of The Worlds We Make was devoted to Kaelyn and her friends' journey to Atlanta. They encounter many obstacles along the way, obstacles that would make most people turn around and go home, but Kaelyn is not most people. She is determined to make it to Atlanta and to make what's left of the world a better, safer place to live.
I loved so many things about The Worlds We Make. The imagery was beautiful, and the book was full of small details that made it special. Kaelyn encounters a wolf in the wild at one point and that was one of the most beautiful and poignant scenes of the book. Leo's encounter with a black bear, and how he and the rest of the group interacted with the people in that town was a defining moment of the story. That one scene set the tone for how Kaelyn hoped the world would end up: people helping people in need, for no reason other than it being the honest, good, and right thing to do.
Crewe makes bold choices in her story arc: namely, in keeping the book realistic with deaths of important characters. I never want main characters to die, yet, the story would have felt inauthentic and less powerful if everyone had lived, and gone on to live happily ever after. I respect authors who create endings that are appropriate to the rawness and emotional level of the series, and not just your typical HEA.
Kaelyn made so many important decisions throughout this story, but her decision about who to give the vaccine to was the most vital one and the one that surprised me the most. I was so happy with how that story arc ended, and especially glad that Crewe used that part of the story to effect change with two main groups of characters.
The Fallen World series embodies everything I love about dystopian fiction: a great premise, a thrilling plot, a love story, and a perfect conclusion. I highly recommend this series!

This is an amazing conclusion to this series. It's fast paced and opens with the first chapter being a complete shock.
and it just gets more daring, dark and shocking from there. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Once I was done with Part II, I wasn't at all sure what was happening anymore.
This is a world come undone. And Kaelyn, Tobias, Anika, Justin and Leo are just trying to survive. Nothing is for sure except this vaccine and it's everything to this world that it start being made into more vaccine so it can be passed out, treated and this disease can be forced out.
Their final journey and destination, their final sacrifices and their hope and love. It's an adventure I'm glad I read.

Y aquí termina una de las mejores trilogías que he leído este año. Esta ultima entrega en mucho mas desesperante y emocionante que las anteriores, sin embargo a mi parecer el segundo libro sigue siendo el mejor.
En esta culminación de la historia nos encontramos con una trama corrida que no para en ningún momento, capitulo tras capitulo solo queremos seguir y saber que pasara al final. Y algo que me gusta mucho de la autora en particular es como vuele lo predecible en algo impredecible. Cuando pensamos que ya sabemos que va a pasar pues resulta que si pasa, pero no de la manera que imaginamos en un principio y mejor aun que se desarrollan acontecimientos sorpresa. Personajes nuevos, algunos muy repentinos que desaparecen enseguida y situaciones muy particulares con los que ya conocemos.
Aunque digo que esta es la culminación del la historia, no lo es. Existe una cuarta parte a forma de "Spin-off" que nos relatan tres historias que suceden durante y luego de la trilogía. Lamentablemente no esta en idioma Español según pude investigar. Espero algún día poder leerlo de alguna forma porque sin duda esta maravillosa historia me dejo con ganas de mas!
Hablemos del final... con lo poco que soy de gustarme los finales puedo decir que este en particular es ¡Espectacular! aunque como ya mencione nos deja con ganas de mas, con cabos sueltos y situaciones sin resolver del todo, siento que la autora supo abordar un muy buen final para nuestra protagonista Kaelyn. Un final donde podemos al fin sentir una pausa y un respiro para todo este constante ajetreo que nos hace vivir estos libros.
Puntuación final: 4.5
De nuevo algunas partes que aunque seguían siendo frenéticas al momento de leerlas era un poco flojas y en algunos capítulos era todo lo contrario, las escenas pasaban muy rápido lo que hacia que me perdiera en lo que estaba pasando y tener que releer para entender bien. Al igual que la frialdad que demuestra la autora sobre nuestra protagonista lo veo muy excesivo. Sin embargo pienso que esta muy bien logrado la manera en que esta toda la trama escrita.

Resumen muy resumen: Nuestros personajes se dirigen a Atlanta, entre el camino se consiguen algunas personas que no son nada relevantes. Gav muere a causa de la enfermedad lo cual hace que Kae se vea afectada a esto se le suma que Tobias también contrae el virus y este decide separarse del grupo y escapar para no perjudicar la misión, y es con esas dos situaciones que Kae esta mas decidida de cumplir su propósito. Son raptados por los guardianes pero Kae había escondido la "neverita" con las vacunas en el rió. Drew el hermano de Kae los ayuda a escapar del refugio de los guardianes, en eso muere Anika por un disparo. Luego de volver a por las vacunas en el rio, Kae habla con la doctora en Atlanta pero descubre que esta no quiere compartir la vacuna con todos, por lo que decide copiar los apuntes y dividir las vacunas entre los científicos y los guardianes. Al llegar a Atlanta causa todo el revuelo al revelar su plan para que al final ambos bandos accedan a cooperar juntos y crear la vacuna para el alcance de todos. Kae y Leo quedan juntos y toman rumbo a reunirse con Meredith y luego volver a su Hogar... La isla donde todo comenzó.

I really enjoyed the Book series. The whole story was really nice. And as the last book of the series, this book was a fitting end. Sure, there were some things which did not feel right, like Kae moving on so fast with Gav, but the story as a whole was really great.
Thanks.
Thanks.

At the conclusion of Megan Crewe's The Lives We Lost, a hapless group of young people were leaving inhospitable Toronto to attempt to deliver a vaccine to the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia in the hopes that the CDC would be able to mass produce the vaccine needed to save those uninfected with the widespread and deadly virus. The group, led by Kaelyn whose father had produced the vaccine, consists of Gav, her boyfriend, who she'd met while fighting the virus in their island community; Leo, her former best friend who had just returned to the island after making his way from New York City; Tobias, a young soldier who rescued them from the island; Justin, a reckless fourteen-year-old who'd forced them to take him; and a new recruit, Anika, a former ally of the scary Wardens and their leader Michael. But getting the vaccine to the CDC is far more difficult than just finding a vehicle and gasoline to get it there. The group must outwit and escape the omnipotent Michael and his legions of Wardens who are determined to get the vaccine for themselves. So begins The Worlds We Make, the conclusion to Megan Crewe's Fallen World Trilogy.
Heading south in an SUV stolen from Michael's well-organized and well-supplied gang, Kaelyn and her entourage continue to deal with incredible snow storms and the fear that Gav and possibly Tobias have become infected with the virus. A flat tire lays them up in a small town, searching for a new tire and supplies, attempting to contact the CDC by radio and, worst of all, isolating the now delusional Gav from all but the immune Kaelyn. Gav's death leaves Kaelyn reeling, though his message to her on a scrap of paper in his jeans compels her to keep focused on getting to Atlanta.
The group's journey is essentially a series of driving episodes interjected with stops to search for supplies and encounters with individuals or evidence of those who are no longer around (having died or left). Mostly they are observers of phenomena from fire balls in the sky, to a suicide victim, a well-stocked hunter's cabin, a commercial pig farm where the animals were left caged to die, and isolated communities of people, sometimes welcoming, sometimes not. Though they connect with a Dr. Guzman at the CDC who prepares for their arrival and analysis of the vaccine for production, their capture by Michael's Wardens suspends their travels and threatens their only goal and their lives.
While the plot is very directed i.e., the group endures different horrors as they attempt to reach the CDC, the story is bigger than the plot in The Worlds We Make. It has more to do with the premise of creating a world we choose, not as we deem it to be as thrust upon us. Sure the epidemic changed everything and everyone is reacting to that change. Some don't change their ways at all and may remain safe or may become victims. Some completely alter their behaviour, such as Michael who was formerly a policeman and now uses the knowledge he learned to successfully establish a criminal organization, based on fear and hostility.
Kaelyn begins to see their world as a new dynamic, based on survival and power, essentially without room for empathy. Every choice they make now must be weighed against the potential for infection, attack and successful delivery of the vaccine. Trust is a commodity in short supply. Anika, the last to join their group, constantly looks ready to run. Justin's bravado covers his insecurities related to his youth, his interest in Anika, and even his desire to make amends for his perceived lack of effort. Kaelyn is less able to edit her comments, never realizing the effect they have on others around her. That is, until she comprehends that they see her as a leader, their leader, and she must not refrain from showing how much she values them just to avoid the hurt of losing them.
The world that Megan Crewe has created is one of desperation and paranoia. The bad is often highlighted because it is overwhelming and tragic, but there are slivers of goodness like freshly-baked bread and home-made sandwiches, hugs of reassurance, and a simple smile. The strength of character with which Megan Crewe has imbued Kaelyn carries the reader, as well as the group, to a surprising resolution to create a new actuality where bad and good must come together to make something better.

great ending to a great series! Kaelyn is a brave heroine that deserves more attention! can't over what happened at the beginning, but i understand why it had to happen.

This series has taken my heart for a spin. There are moments of sheer terror, especially in the first book, The Way We Fall, where we're not sure if our main character will make it through. A virus threatening a small island, slowly escalating onto the main shore, seeping across Canada and creeping into the United States. When Kaelyn discovers a vaccine, she knows she must get it into the hands of the right people. Leaving the island with a small group of friends, she sets off across Canada, making her way to Toronto. The Lives We Lost reveals more challenges, more threats and more loss as the group gets closer to the CDC, hoping it can be the place to save them. The story concludes with The Worlds We Make, the final stretch and suddenly everything Kaelyn thought she knew about the CDC, those chasing her, and the vaccine, seems like a lie. There's no way to trust everyone and putting the vaccine into the wrong hands could be the end of it.
This book is a game changer, as most finales are. Kaelyn is forced to act in ways she never thought she would, and her loved ones are dying around her. Fear of what's to come haunts everyone and there's no telling how long they will last in this new world. Trying to keep her group alive, they cross the border into the States, finding new means of surviving. Seeing the world change through Kaelyn's eyes is heartbreaking. She wants what's best for everyone, but she also knows she can't just let people walk all over her. She doesn't hesitate to use her gun on those that could cause her harm, and she vows to do anything to keep the vaccine safe. She does some things that she regrets, but don't we all when we are in life or death situations? Fear changes us, and in a world that is falling apart at her feet, it's hard for Kaelyn not to change with it. I understand all of her actions. I know it was hard for her to do some of the things she had to do, but she did it to survive, and in the end, she realized that that is not who she really is and she will do anything to make things right.
Crewe has perfected the end of the world. Her virus is something that seems likely, a flu gone wrong, and the way that it has spread over the world into an epidemic is all too real. Think SARS or Swine flu and we know how quickly these things spread. The way humans act when suddenly they cannot get everything they want is haunting and truly realistic in the way she writes. We become animals, fighting for survival and not caring who we take down with us. Humans become enemies. Food is something you will kill for and knowing there is a vaccine could mean a certain death at the hands of someone who wants it. Kaelyn's life has changed drastically and suddenly she has to make some choices she never thought she'd have to make. She is brave, determined and eager to give the vaccine to someone who will use it for the good of the world. Crewe asks questions that we don't know the answers to until it's too late - how would you react if a flue took over? Would you stay the same or would you change into someone else? How do you hold on to humanity when there seems to be nothing left.
You hope. You hold onto hope. And you try to survive.

I'm really not sure how to sum up my thoughts.
Sure, I could talk about the grey and gray morality. I could talk about the complex and nuanced themes explored. I could talk about how well Crewe handles grief. I could talk about how amazing of a protagonist Kaelyn is. I could talk about the diversity and the voice and the pacing and a whole bunch of things.
But I'm not gonna do that.
This is a fantastic book. I mean, this is a fantastic book, just like everything Megan Crewe writes. And no matter how positively I review this, it won't change whether you read it or not. You'll read it because of the first and second books. I've reviewed those. There's nothing I can say here as an opinion that can add onto that.
This book deserves a review - as does the entire series - but I'm not good enough to give it. I really do hope others read and enjoy this series the way I did. I hope others can appreciate what I see in it. I hope Crewe remains remembered years after she dies, that this series becomes a classic. Which is an extremely cheesy thing to say - and it's also pretty unlikely, all things considered - but it's true. This really is one of the best books I've ever read, and I hope others can feel the same.
So, who else wants to see Crewe write about aliens?

Kaelyn and her group of survivors flee Toronto and the Wardens with the precious vaccine that could stop the "friendly flu" in its tracks. Making their way way through rough conditions and pursuers who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the vaccine, the group begins to fall apart. Resolved to get the vaccine into the right hands, Kaelyn is forced to confront issues of right and wrong in the midst of survival and, more terrifyingly, the question of whether there is the "right hands" for the vaccine at all.
I am a huge fan of plague novels, and I particularly like when teenagers are faced with saving the world. With no power over world events, their young age and place on the cusp of adulthood is perfectly suited for a coming of age/hero's journey sort of tale. Kaelyn has grown throughout the books from a scared young girl to someone who has to take on a tremendous amount of responsibility. She becomes a leader and, in this book, she has to make the tough and sometimes terrible decisions true leader does. This book surprised me in several places. Crewe isn't afraid of making tough decisions in the narrative. The result is sad and bittersweet, but ultimately hopeful.
This trilogy is fantastically written and a real journey. I look forward to reading it many times.

2 stars
These books are so boring . 210 pages felt like a freaking nightmare. I was just sluggishly running in slow motion.
The journey was boring. The characters were boring. The plot was just so damn boring I wanted to puke.
Kaelyn thought too much about every single action she took. She was always so worried about what Leo thought about her. And the balls on that kid to pass judgment... nuh uh. There is simply no time for being friendly and all "the world us essentially filled with good people" come a population reducing illness. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I get it.
I understand.
So you have to wave a gun at a sick person to get him to back the fuck up? so what? You didn't shoot him. Conscience clean. Yeah it was kind of a dick move to steal all of that one guys gasoline but BUT you have the cure and you have to get it replicated. It was necessary. I don't blame you. But Leo does so feel bad.
Also, I love that Kae was a goody two shoes for 2 books and now, now she has sacked the fuck up. Shes all cutthroat and ass whoopins.
Get out of here.
I'm over it.
All in all: I'm just glad it's over

I received this through First Reads Giveaways.
I'm marking it as read AND giving it five stars, even though I haven't finished it yet. I'm giving it five stars because so far, I love it, and I think it's going to continue to be amazing. However, I stopped reading it because I've never read the first two books, and once I started reading it and began to see how much I was going to like it, I had to stop and wait until I could find copies of the first two books.
However, I didn't want to NOT leave a review since I did win this through the giveaways, so I'm leaving this. I will update this review and give my overall thoughts once I've found the first two books, read them, then read this one. :-D
I can say, however, that I read the first ninety pages or so, and it has been GREAT. I don't expect it to disappoint AT ALL.

Enjoyed the series, from the first book on the island, her meeting Gav and them become a couple, keeping a journal for Leo, to the second book with them trying to reach someplace where the vaccine can be duplicated. Gav gets sick, they are hunted by the Warden who wants the vaccine for themselves. They find a place where her niece can stay, along with her friend from the island (Leo's old girlfriend). They pick up Justin, Anika and Tobias along the way. The third book where they make their way to the CDC in Georgia, are captured by the Warden (turns out to be an ex-cop with okay intentions), her brother Drew frees her, Leo and Justin (Anika takes a bullet for Justin and dies as they attempt to escape). She decides to hand part of the vaccine to the CDC and the other part to the Warden(Michael) to ensure that everyone gets the vaccination. Happy ending.

The Worlds We Make is the third book to an exciting trilogy. The main character Kaelyn's mission through out the book is to find a doctor somewhere in the world still alive that can make more of her vaccine that her dad made before his passing. This deadly disease is spreading quickly starting off on a tiny island but now spreading across the world. Kaelyn and her group of friends are walking across Canada. They are trying to stay on the down low as their is another group of people that are potentially doing whatever it takes to get the vaccine. I think Megan Crewe made this book for entertainment and the genre of this book is realistic fiction. This book takes place in present day. I would recommend this book

Cuando leemos el final de una saga que nos ha encantado siempre lo hacemos con cierto temor a que nos decepcione, es muy fácil que lo haga. No obstante, me parece que Supervivientes es un gran desenlace a pesar de esa información que nos falta. Todo el tema de la vacuna y los guardianes tiene un final que me pareció muy coherente y aceptable. Además, a pesar de que el principio es algo lento, me parece que el libro se lee muy bien, que el ritmo es muy constante y que engancha. Sigue pareciéndome una gran saga, una de mis preferidas.

Supervivientes es el final de una trilogía que me ha encantado debido al tema tan realista que trata -una pandemia-, las cuestiones morales que plantea y por ser tan diferente a lo que ahora mismo llena el panorama de la literatura juvenil. Unos libros con mucha acción, con unos personajes muy bien perfilados y, sobre todo, con una trama que nos mantendrá en vilo hasta el final.

Por fin puedo dar por acabada esta trilogía que me deja con un sabor amargo en la boca. Demasiado previsible para mi gusto. Y también demasiadas muertes, entre ellas, los personajes que mas me gustaban, lo que ha hecho que me deprimiera y en consecuencia, no quería ni acercarme ni con un palo al libro. Además la lectura se me ha hecho lenta y aburrida. Iba loca por que se acabara de una vez. Pero aunque no me haya gustado el final, no quiere decir que no haya sido una buena trilogía :)

Although I enjoyed how it eventually wrapped up, there were too many flat spots for me. The same scenes and scenarios hashed out over and over. I wanted to love it, but settled for a mild liking instead. A fair chunk of the original storyline was left with loose ends, the fate of characters being one of them.

A relentless, hope-filled conclusion to a stand out YA series. Unlike most dystopian sagas, this one feels completely plausible. There are no pulled punches or easy answers. Just a group of kids living second to second, searching for hope. People die. And people live. And life goes on. Read this series ...
November 16, 2014
A wonderful and satisfying conclusion to an inventive and thought-provoking series. I loved the fact that Kaelyn has to make so many hard choices, and the exploration of what humanity really means, especially during a crisis. I couldn't put this down after the midway point -- I was too invested in the mission!

Awesome end to an awesome trilogy. Tension ratchets higher. Already impossible circumstances become even more impossible. Highly recommended for fans of sciencey-fiction, thrillers or just plain good books.
