Undivided (Unwind Dystology #4) by Neal Shusterman

  "An intense, gut wrenching, emotional, honest and genuine ending to a truly amazing, thought provoking series." 4 Stars Pros:  The same cast of characters Connor/Risa/Lev/Cam/Grace/Sonia etc, so we don't have to keep too many new people in mind/All of the loose ends are tied together in a nice, tidy bow at the end.  Cons:  The ending was decidedly convenient for most involved but it wasn't surprising/I hope Shusterman leaves the series as is and doesn't add to it, it's great as is.  Full Review:  Again, it's nearly impossible to describe anything in this book without doing two things. 1. Giving something away and 2. Having it make any sense. If you haven't read the first three books in this series ( Unwind/Unwholly/Unsouled ) then I suggest you go back and read them and then come back to this review.  Undivided leaves us right where we left off at the end of Unsouled . There has been a discovery that could very well be the answer to ending unwinding

Unsouled (Unwind Dystology #3) by Neal Shusterman

"A fast paced, exciting and informative addition to the series. We learn more of how Unwinding came to be, how it was warped and twisted into something for profit and a possible solution to bring down Unwinding and Proactive Citizenry." 5 STARS Pros:  Not too many new characters introduced into the mix so it's easy to keep track of everyone/Grace is a good addition to the crew/Sonia and her "secret reveal" at the end of the book is a great cliffhanger and a great place to start the new novel. It definitely leaves the reader wanting more. Cons:  It's not exactly a con but all the ways that the loose threads tied together so very neatly and conveniently at the end was pretty unrealistic/The love triangle between Risa/Connor and Cam is forced and contrite.  Full Review:  We're back again, following the journeys of Lev/Connor/Risa and Camus Comprix, the "composite human" made entirely of parts from Unwinds to see where they all end up.
