  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 03/15/2021 Taking off where second entry Shatter City (2019) left off, this trilogy ender finds Frey and Col, once betrothed to marry under the watchful eye of Frey’s warlord father, on a daring rescue mission. Col and Frey have changed their faces and even their DNA, so as not to be discovered by the surveillance in the city of Shreve, where Frey's father is always watching. As they try to find and free their friend and coconspirator Boss X, Frey hears about the world below the tower she grew up in and forges a tentative alliance with her twin sister, Rafi. Resistors in cliques and clans are suspicious of the twins, and wearing a different face allows Frey to see her old world from a new perspective. The free cities play sister against sister in a final battle against their father, with the fate of millions—as well as their own—resting on their shoulders. This is a suspenseful adventure story set in a shiny sci-fi world, and readers eagerly awaiting the series' end won’t be disappointed. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Westerfeld's immersive sci-fi series—and signature cliff-hangers—have earned him boatloads of loyal fans, and plenty of them will be waiting for this series ender. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
