Plot: Kira, Samm, and Marcus fight to prevent a final war between Partials and humans in the gripping final installment in the Partials Sequence, a series that combines the thrilling action of The Hunger Games with the provocative themes of Blade Runner and The Stand.

There is no avoiding it—the war to decide the fate of both humans and Partials is at hand. Both sides hold in their possession a weapon that could destroy the other, and Kira Walker has precious little time to prevent that from happening. She has one chance to save both species and the world with them, but it will only come at great personal cost.

Review:

Can people stop fighting, put aside all their differences and hatred if it means their salvation?

Partials can't survive without humans and humans can't survive without partials.

Would that be enough?

This is a great conclusion of the Partial trilogy. The thing that I liked most is that Dan Wells is not afraid to make things bad for the characters. When you read a book or watch a film and there's bomb about to blow off, or someone is sick or one of the characters is about to die, you think "of course the will disable the bomb in time. Of course they're not going to die... of course..." But in this case the author is not afraid to take some risks and not having the expected happy ending.

One of the things I didn't really care for in the series was the love triangle, but that was solved in a good and quick way, as it should have been. I read dystopian novels for the action and the psychological   implications, not for the love drama.

A couple of surprises in the way and maybe a few slow chapters , but all together a very exciting book with the introduction of new characters.

I also love that we have more different point of views, until all the characters meet.

I'm very glad I've took the time to read this trilogy, I recommended to anyone who is a fan of dystopia!
