Dustlands #3 by Moira Young

This week I finished the Dustlands series. It is about a girl, her twin brother, younger sister and other friends that team up to defeat the evil leader. It is a dystopian series featuring a teenage girl (which I am tired of), but this series is really different and cool.
I liked the entire series and this book. As with most series, the first one was the best, but the other two were pretty solid. My main complaint was that some of the plot lines from the second book didn't flow very well into the third one, so although I read the previous book pretty recently I got confused at the beginning. The characters' personalities continue to develop and the writing style is consistently good. I recommend this series.

Dustlands #2 by Moira Young

This week I read the second book in the Dustlands series. I can't remember the actual title because it is really generic, but I really like this series. It is about a girl who had to rescue her brother and now they are trying to defeat this evil guy. That is not very descriptive, but it is a generic teen dystopian novel so that about sums it up.
I actually like this series because the main character is cool and it is written a little differently than most books of this genre. The story seems consistently good and it seems like it was planned well, so all three books connect. To learn more about the first one, see my previous post.
