Grundsätzlich fand ich die Storyline hier wieder deutlich besser gefallen und mit Claire konnte ich auch wesentlich besser mitfiebern auf ihrem schwerem Weg. Zwar hat es sich doch sehr gezogen teilweise, aber es war spannend, wie sich ihr Weg an sich entwickelt hat und wie unterschiedlich ihr Leben zu dem der Anderen, die sie hier trifft, ist und wie viel sie noch zu lernen hat.Claire wird einzig von ihren Gefühlen zu ihrem Sohn geleitet und entwickelt sich menschlich sehr weiter.Allerdings muss ich auch hier wieder sagen, dass mich die Entwicklung leider enttäuscht hat und sich alles schon wieder in eine absolut seltsame Richtung entwickelt, auch wenn hier die verschiedenen Geschichten wenigstens etwas zusammengeführt wurden - wenn auch ohne großartige Erklärung. Und das Ende fand ich dann wirklich irgendwie einfach nur doof.
I loved the first three books but this one wasn’t it and actually kinda ruined the whole series for me. Man I love „The Giver“ (#1) still one of my favorite books but maaaan what happened in this one?? What happened to the writing style I loved so much. Really bummed out about it. It’s not the worst book I’ve ever read but not a great one. Yeah. Kinda a GOT tip: don’t watch the last season hehe don’t read the last book of this series :(:
First off: This book marks the end of a book-quartett I thoroughly enjoyed and would fully recommend to anyone who likes a good dystopian series with loveable characters and an exciting story. Now, for this part in particular, it's seperated into three sections and I definitely liked the first one best. We revisit the community Jonas (the protagonist from The Giver) grew up in and get to know Claire. She's a birthmother and feels forbidden love and yearning for her baby, which by now we know was saved from being "released" by Jonas. I really like Claire as a character because she's so relatable and her aversions to the society stem from being denied her own child, so her reasoning is completely understandable. Also, it's interesting to learn about another part of the community I thought I'd never read about again. Frankly, the second section could be shortened a bit. It describes yet another village and Claire's way to finding her child. Roughly the last third of this part did gain my interest fully back though, because the action returns and there's even a little lovestory which is heartwarming but not overly important and without huge drama. In the end, there's a reunion of almost all our known and loved characters. It also involves a fight against the ultimate evil, which could have been a little more thrilling in my opinion. All in all, I think as the ending to a great series it's well thought-out and even feeds us with more story instead of "just" tying together what we've already read.
