Well, I thought that the first 2 books were good, but this one really blew them both out of the water. 
 At the end of The Ask and The Answer, the Spackle were coming and the war was about to start. Todd and Viola are still seperated throughout most of this book with Todd following the Mayor and Viola staying with the Answer. Still not sure whom to trust as well as each other. More characters come to play when the first ship finally settles in New World. The war goes back and forth between the Spackle, the Answer and the Mayor's soldiers. The fighting literally does not end until the very last pages of the book. 
 This was a very fast paced read and I also finished this book in one day although it does consist of 603 pages. The one difference that I really enjoyed in this last book was that along with Todd and Viola, we get to see the Spackles point of view through #1017. 
 I am sad to see this trilogy come to an end. Mr. Ness gave us a very unique society with characters that were intriguing and ones you were really able to feel compassionate for.
