Wow, just wow.

Lois Lowry has weaved yet another wonderful story. This book takes the characters from "The Giver," "Gathering Blue, and "Messenger" and formed a truly amazing book. This novel offers the reader answers to many questions that have been left unanswered.

There were points during this book that dragged but all in all it was fantastic. I am pleasantly surprised with the novel. I never realized how much this series has meant to me until I reached the last 90 pages. I didn't want to read the rest because then the novel would be over.

All in all I highly recommend this book to anyone who has wondered what happened to Jonas and Gabe.

I might have to reread the whole series again.

My Thoughts: This is a truly entertaining novel. It's genuinely fun and engaging. The author has done a marvelous job of bringing the past and future together to make a charming and humorous storyline. The characters are well developed and easy to relate to. Claire is a down to earth young woman trying to make a living writing historical novels; just an average girl whose life is changed forever one night when she puts on her grandmother's shawl. This novel was hard to put down, the plot is fast-paced and keeps the reader entertained.


 A historical novel is full of humor and suspense with many twists in the plot that will keep the reader wondering what will happen next. A truly enjoyable read and highly recommended.

would definitely recommend this book. A novel about the rise of Amunhotep ( Akhnaton) - pharaoh who originated the worship of a single God in Egypt, and his wife Nefertiti. The story is definitely absorbing.
