Ein guter Abschluss einer spannenden Reihe. Ich liebe Dystopien und auch hier fand ich die Idee wieder super spannend. Man merkt, dass es eine Jugendbuchreihe ist, denn die Bücher hätten auch gut etwas gekürzt und in zwei Bände verpackt werden können. Dann wäre es nochmal etwas spannender gewesen, denn Band zwei und drei waren nicht mehr ganz so spannend wie Band eins. Das Ende von Band drei fand ich mit am Besten, das konnte mich nochmal komplett fesseln und es war das perfekte Ende für die Reihe. Ich hab sie wirklich gerne gelesen 🤭

~ Maybe happy endings were real, as long as you understood that they weren’t endings, but steps on the road. ~ --- Bewertung Insgesamt:⭐️⭐️⭐️,25 Inhalt (Storyline & Charaktere):⭐️⭐️⭐️ Schreibstil:⭐️⭐️⭐️,5 Cover & Design: ⭐️⭐️⭐️,5 --- Also, zunächst war die Handlung recht langweilig und die gleichen Sachen haben sich immer wieder wiederholt. Es war ein nicht endenes Hin und Her, dass mich echt genervt hat. Aber circa Seite 375 wurde das aber anders und durch aus spannend, die Pläne waren unheimlich raffiniert und es war echt toll zu lesen, auch wenn mich einzelne Sachen nach wie vor gestört haben. Das Ende war mir persönlich allerdings wieder zu offen und ungewiss. Mittlerweile kann ich die meisten Charaktere zumindest irgendwie verstehen und mag den Großteil, auch wenn sie einfach nicht aus ihren Fehlern lernen. Den Schreibstil mag ich nach wie vor recht gerne, nur die Wiederholungen nerven mich und insgesamt kommt er mir recht wirr vor. Insgesamt finde ich die Handlung nicht umbedingt lesenswert, aber das Ende macht das ganze besser. Um die Charaktere zu mögen, braucht man Zeit und so ist es auch mit Handlung und Setting. Insgesamt würde ich sie nicht umbedingt weiter empfehlen. --- Songs •WTF are we talking for (Labrinth) •affection (BETWEEN FRIENDS) --- ~Ayla

After three years, I have finally finished this series. And that makes me really happy, because I was so hyped to finish it, but never got around to read this book somehow? Luckily, the ending didn't disappoint me. Yes, it wasn't the best conclusion of all time, and it focused a bit too much on some characters and left others out... But overall, I can accept this book as the last time I get to visit the tower in New York. Since book 1, secrets have been piling up. And here, most of them finally got out. That led to some... unexpected changes and events. But in the end I feel like everybody got their happy ever after. Or is at least on the way for it. I believe Brice and Calliope had more potential, but this book focuses more on Avery, Leda, Watt and Nadia. Because they have the biggest secrets, obviously. But yeah, I missed reading more about Brice and Calliope. The style in all of the books is very young, and nice to read. As everybody else is already saying: still major Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars vibes. I even started watching Gossip Girl again after finishing this book yesterday. Overall an enjoyable read and a good conclusion to The Thousandth Floor series. Good, but not amazing.
