The Last Star is the heart-stopping finale to the bestselling 5th Wave series by award-winning author, Rick Yancey. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner.
‘Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough’ The New York Times
We’re here, then we’re gone, and that was true before they came. That’s always been true. The Others didn’t invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won’t end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart.
Master storyteller Rick Yancey invokes triumph, loss, and unrelenting action as the fate of the planet is decided in the conclusion to this epic series.
I personally really enjoyed the 5th Wave, the first novel in this series and I have the Infinite Sea in my possession I just haven’t read it yet. I have heard some mixed things about the Infinite Sea, I really hope I enjoy it and then can finish this series off with the Last Star. I personally am a huge sci-fi nerd and I love a good alien book/series, so I really hope the Last Star will be an awesome finale to this series!
Also, it comes out the day after my birthday so that’s always fun! It’s like a birthday present from me for myself haha.

I agree! I loved 5th Wave (so much so that I purchased it as gifts for many people – a habit of mine!), but Infinite Sea just didn’t blow me away. I’m really hoping that The Last Star restores my interest in the series.

I am in the same boat as you, having really enjoyed the first wave and not gotten to the infinite sea yet! I hope the last star is a great conclusion, because I will be marathoning this series once it comes out. hope you love it!

I haven’t read the Infinite Sea yet either! I’m hoping to binge the two together so I don’t have to deal with a cliffhanger ending 😉 Great pick!

Same for sure, and the Infinite Sea is so short so it won’t take too long to get through

I have not read this series! I want the series to end (with this book, yay!) before starting to read them. I love science fiction, so I have a feeling I will really enjoy the series. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
Have a fabulous week. 🙂

Since I recently watched (and actually LOVED) the film, I’m curious about this series. I judged the movie as a production, not adaptation, so I’m certainly curious to discover what the books are all about (even though most who read the book say the film is not great). 🙂
Happy (early) birthday, Belle. Buying a book is always a WONDERFUL way to celebrate!

I personally watched the movie after having read the book, as an adaptation I did not enjoy it. Maybe the other way around is a better way to go about it 😉
Thankyouu! Haha buying books is the best way to celebrate anything, I always find an excuse 😜
