(Synopsis from Goodreads)
Silly me. I finally read Sever forever ago and forgot about my post that went with it until I came across it last night! SO! Sever!
*Warning: a little bit Spoilers*
Sever is the final book in the Chemical Garden trilogy by Lauren Destefano, and lived up to the first in the series, Wither.
In
this conclusion, we still have Rhine being skeptic of all her
surroundings, but this time with the knowledge that yes her brother
Rowan is alive and well. But Rowan is not the same either.
Rowan is blowing up research labs saying that they're evil and killed Rhine, but we know that to be phoney boloney.
So,
the whole premise is to find Rowan this time with her sister wife,
Cecily, and ex-husband, Linden. Yes, ex because linden finally drop that
whole Grimm's fairy tale version of Cinderella's prince stupidity and
let's Rhine be Rhine.
I do feel bad for Rowan,
and I always secretly hoped in Fever that Rhine would realize that they
can say screw it and run off together, because let's face it if they
didn't meet the way they did, it would be Rowan not Gabriel she'd pine
for.
I'm gonna stop here with plot because the
rest of the spoils are actually great unlike Fever was. (Find me on the
twitter to discuss the end!)
My favorite part
is the end. It reminded me why I loved this series in the first place
with Wither. Though some stuff goes down that I wasn't happy with (what
happens to Rowan's gang? The back story on their parents could have been
longer; etc.) I still understand that it was a trilogy, but still there
should have been one more book.
