"Neelajate" sarja kolmas ja viimane raamat. Sama hea lugemine kui esimene, põnevust ja üllatusi jätkub. Arvasin pärast teist, et lõpp käib alla ja lahendus on ette näha, aga paar päris head knihvi oli sees :)
Noortefantasyst kindlasti üks parimaid sarju, mida lugenud olen. ( )

I loved this book so much. I love this trilogy. When I read The Devouring, I couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. Soulstice was also amazing, but not as good as the first book. So I have been dying to read Fearscape for a very long time, I just didn’t want this trilogy to end. I was also worried I would be let down. However, I wasn’t.

This book was just as good as the first two. It’s not as scary as The Devouring, but it has a lot of action. I flew right through it. I couldn’t put it down. I had to know what would happen to these characters and what would happen to the Vours. In the end, I am very pleased with how it all turned out. I usually don’t like last books in series but for the first time I can say that I loved every book.

If you haven’t read these yet, please go pick up The Devouring right now. I promise you wont regret it. ( )

Pursued by the Vours, supernatural creatures who feast on fear and attack on the eve of the winter solstice, Reggie tries to hold onto her humanity as she finds herself gradually morphing into a Vour.

The quality of the writing in this series varies greatly from chapter to chapter. Maybe what they say is true, and there were several writers working on this. But while in the previous two we got some vivid, well-written chapters in between mediocre ones, this book seemed much more imbalanced. Don't get me wrong, there were still some chapters that made the book worth reading (and not just so we can know how the series ends).

Personally, what I find terrifying is not so much the concept of scary monsters, but the potential in all of us (maybe the person sitting right next to you on the bus, maybe a member of your family) to commit terrible acts. If you compare how vital it was, how we felt the need for Reggie to save her brother in the first book and all the implications of her possible failure (the destruction of her family, continuous hurt inflicted by someone you love and still feel a visceral need to protect) with the much more cliché and impersonal off-to-save-the-world thing, I think the majority would feel a more primal response to the first one. The book suffered from a lack of the more personal and relatable side of the characters.

That aside, it's still a good trilogy and I recommend it. ( )

Wow…. what a series. I love that feeling of finishing the last book in a series and having everything wash over you.

This is hands down the best YA horror series out there. Possibly best horror series in general.

Fearscape picks up where Soulstice left us (on a cliffhanger, where else?). Reggie is in dire need of help after being kidnapped by the Vours and so Aaron, Quinn and Machen set of on a quest to find her.

Reggie has been enslaved by the Vours, and is forced to go into fearscape after fearscape in an attempt to save people from the Vours. What she is soon to realise however, is that every time she goes into a fearscape and defeats a Vour, a bit of that Vour goes into her and becomes a part of her. Before she knows it, her very DNA has been altered. She’s still herself, but she has some extra abilities within her now.

I really ended up loving and caring for these characters. What’s not to love about Reggie? She’s such a badass protagonist. It almost feels at times like she’s not afraid of anything, because she just all these fears (litterally) in the fearscapes and conquers them all.

Quinn sounds so sexy. I’m sorry Aaron, but Quinn is the winner here! His body is worse for wear after being possessed by a Vour, but he still has it as far as I am concerned!

Such a perfect book to finish off this series, there are twists and turns right until the last pages. This book gets into action immediately, with our first fearscape opening up to us on page 6! And it doesn’t stop. Such a fast paced book, but I love Simon Holt’s writing style, because he has that amazing ability to write in such a way where everything unfolds in your imagination as you read. It reads like a movie!

If you’re going to read this, I can’t highly enough recommend starting from the first book. It was so amazing to me, because I did have that background from the first two books. Excellent series though! ( )
