Exceptional, but sorry to see it end

 

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑  I am terribly sorry to see the end of the Voices series with Ghosts, the final installment to an exceptional four novel serial. It felt like a punch to the gut as the story wound down to a close. A touching, crushing yet fitting end but painful to say goodbye, nonetheless. If a book leaves a lingering feeling - the end of Ghosts has stayed with me for days - it is a great compliment to the author and a mark of excellent story telling.

Each book has been stellar in its own right, taking readers on a journey that feels very much like The Stand in its atmosphere, tone and array of characters. But make no mistake, Ghosts, and the previous three novels, are original in content and world building. This is a post apocalyptic, dystopian world where voice hearers and non-voice hearers fight to destroy each other and eventually work, at times together, to pick up the pieces. Society as we know it is gone and the survivors live a rather nomadic existence.

If you haven't read the previous books I would recommend you start with Defender and read them in order. This honestly is a thrilling, action-pack series and I envy anyone who can read them back-to-back as the time between books left me a bit lost on occasion but it doesn't take long for the pieces to slot into place. I hope you love this as much as I did and many thanks for your great talent, G.X. Todd, in crafting a series that is sure to be a cult classic.
