Monsters of Men
Monsters of Men | Patrick Ness
Three armies march on New Prentisstown, each one intent on destroying the others. Todd and Viola are caught in the middle, with no chance of escape. As the battles commence, how can they hope to stop the fighting? How can there ever be peace when they're so hopelessly outnumbered?

To #Begin this series is pure adrenaline, but for me the end was the best part.

Overall Rating 4½⭐ | Narration 😍 = Amazing
I‘m in awe of this series, easily a new fav. This was the perfect ending to the series or at least I think it is. Why didn‘t I rate it five-stars like the first two books? It was the new/third POV that was added for this final book that threw me for a loop. Overall, I still think it is one of the best series of audiobooks I‘ve ever listened to; & the narration was performed to absolute perfection.

Third and final installment of the Chaos Walking trilogy. I hate to say it, but I was increasingly disenchanted the further I got into this series. There seemed to be a lot of repetition in this last book, making it much longer than it needed to be. It‘s too bad. I really liked book one. The movie just came out last week to mixed reviews. I‘m curious about it, and hoping not to be too disappointed.

Finally finished my Feb #DoubleSpin book. 🥳

This was an absolute amazing journey. And yes this one also had me in tears - that's what Ness does best. Write you to tears 😭

I love the character growth throughout the series, but especially in this book. Everyone is changing and learning and making sacrifices.
O and the fact that we got a Spackle pov was just awesomeness.

Enchanted_Bibliophile The world also plays a big part in the over all story that makes this series unique and very different from the normal dystopians. It's influence on the characters make the act different and makes you wonder how it would be to live in a place like it.

This is one of those series I'll read again and again, never tiring of it.

I am halfway through at page 334 of this 643-paged beast. Going great so far. I'm excited to see how it all concludes! 📚

"If he can do that," Mistress Coyle says, "then he's even more dangerous to you than I've been saying. Is that who you want in charge of the world you're about to join?"

"I don't know," Bradley says. "Are you the only alternative?"

I love this new character, Bradley, especially because he's got the best comebacks. ? Loving this one so far.

The conclusion of this trilogy is -full- of enemies, some that you can find common ground with (like in The Enemy) and some you cannot.

Ness brings his trilogy to a triumphant conclusion, with another POV voice (a Spackle, no less!) to add to those of Todd and Viola. Some profound meditations on the themes of war, terrorism, and colonialism underlying what is a helluva story that barely lets up for a moment.
YA fantasy dystopia be blowed, this has some of the best descriptions of BATTLE I've ever read. Wonderful.

Addison_Reads I just finished the first two in this series and loved them. I'm waiting on my hold to come through at the library for this one. Such a well done series so far. I'm excited to finish it. 6y

#BookMail Pt3 today is the third & final book in the Chaos Walking trilogy by Ness. Another 10th anniversary edition, it has the same sprayed edges and black on black embossing as the first two. All 3 are also signed by the author so at just $12.75AU they‘re a steal! Unfortunately Booktopia.com.au does not ship internationally at this time, so any fellow Aussie littens out there looking for a bargain, they still have copies available.

emmaturi love this series! I still have the last to read! 6y

It wasn‘t the prose. Besides the slang I still find annoying, the writing was just as strong as ever. I still love Todd and Viola just as much as in the first books. And it wasn‘t the fact that Patrick Ness is basically an expert at breaking my heart and crushing my feelings either. I had one big problem with Monsters Of Men: ‘The Return‘ and his newly introduced POV.

3/5 stars

This was better than the two previous books, but I still struggled to get through it. I felt kind of let down by the ending. It fell a little flat for me. Other people seemed to have enjoyed it though. Maybe I've read too many dystopia books recently and I'm burnt out! I would recommend other series first, but I don't hate this one. #kindle #ebook #chaoswalking

This was such a great ending to a great trilogy. Each book was just as good as the last. I already already miss Viola and Todd. Any book that can make me tear up over a horse is a winner in my book. I highly recommend these books.

This book alone, although fiction placed upon a distant world, did more to help me understand the machine of war than anything I have ever read of been taught in my 40 years. Men fight because they are empty. We kill, we destroy, to silence that emptiness. But there is another way. There is and the book helps lay the path for learning it.

This left me emotionally shaking, breathless, and temporarily blinded from tears.

There's so much pressure on conclusions. As a character on a favorite tv show of mine says: "Endings are hard." But Ness did it exceedingly well.

I never quite knew what was going to happen next, how it was all going to play out, who was going to make it, or if I was even going to make it. But I did. And came out for the better.

This was absolutely stunning.
