About this listen
The highly-anticipated finale to the New York Times best-selling 5th Wave series.
The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They’re down here, they’re up there, they’re nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us. But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves.
In these last days, Earth’s remaining survivors will need to decide what’s more important: saving themselves...or saving what makes us human.
Praise for The Last Star
“Yancey’s prose remains achingly precise, and this grows heavier, tighter, and more impossible to put down as the clock runs out.... This blistering finale proves the truth of the first two volumes: it was never about the aliens.” (Booklist, starred review)
“A haunting, unforgettable finale.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Yancey doesn’t hit the breaks for one moment, and the action is intense, but the language always stays lyrical and lovely. It’s a satisfying end to an impressive trilogy, true to the characters and the world Yancey created.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“Yancey has capped off his riveting series with a perfect ending.” (TeenReads)
“[T]he ending provides both satisfaction and heartbreak.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Yancey's writing is just as solid and descriptive as in the first two books….What Yancey does beautifully is reveal the human condition.” (Examiner.com)
"Rick Yancey sticks the (alien) landing in the action-packed finale to his The 5th Wave invasion saga.... And the author gives us a major dose of girl power as well, pairing Cassie and Ringer for an uneasy alliance that provides the best moments in this fantastic series’ thought-provoking and satisfying conclusion.” (USA Today)

After the first wave, only darkness remains. After the second, only the lucky escape. And after the third, only the unlucky survive. After the fourth wave, only one rule applies: Trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the fifth wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 314
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers - boys whose memories are also gone.

And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

What the critics say
"Loss and sacrifice intertwine with the underlying questions of morality, family, and human strength, and the resolutions of two apocalyptically doomed romances are appropriately understated, but no less electrifying.... [T]his blistering finale proves the truth of the first two volumes: it was never about the aliens." (Booklist, starred review)
"[The Last Star] again unspools from multiple perspectives, keeping readers as off-balance as the characters, who must adjust to a world where they can trust no one.... After hundreds of pages of violent, nonstop action, the ending provides both satisfaction and heartbreak." (Publishers Weekly)

Great final book
This series was great. I really enjoyed this final book, wrapped everything up. I think if a book can make you smile, cry, tense up or relax it's a good one!

Addictive and terrifying read
I don’t know what is worse, imagining this story is possible or knowing a human mind imagined it.
It is a well written story, the kind that kept me up nights reading. I’m exhausted now four days and nights of twists and turns. Four days & nights believing in a world. Fascinated. Heartbroken that a human mind could conceive of the cruelties; of the knowledge that, in many ways, this was a story filled with a human history of cruelties of human against human. Not a book to read while Putin attacks the Ukraine. Another beginning of another war where mindgames and murder play out.
It was worth every moment, every gasp and tear, laugh and curse word. Like the book written by another author, “The Road” and seeing a world that is possible. Too possible. Hope and resignation about how easily humans can be brainwashed by propaganda and fear. How easily we can learn to hate and fear “the others”.
It is a fantastic story, creative and beautiful , ugly and heartbreaking, but filled with hope. Hope dashed,unraveled and then rewoven.

A conclusion
It wasn't great, but it was a decent conclusion to a story that needed one. The first 1/3 is a ramble of slightly enjoying chatter.
