Stands out as one of the most original YA series to date.

Don't Let Go, Book 3 is everything that you want it to be. After following Noa and Peter through the intense and horrific ordeals in Book 1 and 2, I was hoping that the author would continue to tell the final part of their very original story in the same skilled style. I was not disappointed.
We jump straight into the drama where the last book ended, with Peter rejoining Noa, and we're flung headlong into ever more high octane pursuits with cold hearted, gun wielding mercs who want nothing more then to capture and kill these terrified kids. We're introduced to interesting new characters, some who literally bring the crazy. All the while the window of time is closing for a grieving Noa as her deteriorating health also becomes a major obstacle. You can literally feel the fear, exhaustion, and frustration of Peter and crew as they try and figure out a way to stay alive.
The ending is well thought out and didn't suffer from feeling like a rush job, like so many other series endings.
The narrator does a fantastic job throughout the 3 books. She ensures that each character is nuanced, so the listener will be able to distinguish which characters are speaking. She uses a great pace for the action scenes, and delivers the conversational parts naturally.
I highly recommend this series, although not for younger then mature mid-teens (14+), as the subject matter and some descriptions would be disturbing for younger minds. I'm now gonna go search out all of the other works by the brilliant Michelle Gagnon.
