Fall was a great wrap to the Twinmaker trilogy as it was action packed, taking on a new view point from not one, but multiple Clairs. I love how each Clair was slightly different and unique in their own ways due to their experiences, and past selves. Each character was amazingly complex with their own motivations, creating an intriguing conflict between them.

In this particular novel, Claire and her comrades are trying their best to undo all the worlds problems. Even though Clair has lost favour with those that surround her, after she destroyed the world, doing their best to makes things right. But this proved to be extremely difficult, yet they never deterred or gave up. There were times when I as the reader became confused as I couldn’t quite follow up on what was happening as it's quite a heavy science read.

Though the world was destroyed, there was still respite lives within a virtual world known as the Yard. The Yard was originally created by Wallace where he manufactured a new reality, bringing back the scans of dupes from the past. Friends and foes have been regenerated, and whispers that run through Clair’s head with shear warnings of a world outside cause quite the dilemma. But Clair is no longer stable. There are glitches in-between the rifts from her and her dupes. Copies of herself taken from scans shortly after the height of improvement.

Though there was a less world building in this novel than the previous two, it still provided to be fascinating. Twinmaker was truly an incredible, unique world filled with original ideas that questioned human morals and ethics. Overall, I would highly recommend reading these books in order as they are quite complex, and do require your undivided attention.

I adored how Reign of Shadows was written in third person rather than first, and how it transferred back between different characters in order to give us readers a better understanding of what was happening. Since the final novel was written in third person instead, it was much easier for readers to catch a better understanding of how Melissa’s world worked. Although I know a few readers found difficulties in understanding the prophecy, I am happy to say it was all cleared up, and loved how it was never truly revealed until the last book as it kept it mysterious and had you second-guessing which of the two sisters was actually ‘the chosen one’ as they both seemed to be at complete opposites in their abilities.


The world building was nicely improved as the author gave us some of the missing background story that helped cleared my confusion that had arisen earlier on in the trilogy. As for Logan and Brianna’s relationship… They totally swept me off my feet and cleared away any doubts I had between the two. Reign of Shadows was quick-paced and action packed, though I did wish it was slower at times and much longer as I did get a bit lost with what was happening on a couple of occasions.

Where is Q? What is she? And most importantly, where does she stand? That’s what everyone wants to know. A question, that Clair does not have an answer to. D-mat is broken, and society does not know how to survive without it. Unable to leave or travel, people are unable to access hospitals halfway across the world. The world is in turmoil, and it’s all Clair’s fault. Hailed as the girl who broke d-mat, her only hopes of fixing the world, is through Q. Yet somehow Q has managed to stay under the radar. She can’t be found unless she wants to be found. With dupes now after Clair, and society blaming her for the world’s chaos, Clair is desperate to survive and make it out through all of this.

Crashland: Crash, once again embodies the impacts and dependency of technology. Whilst at the same time bringing fourth questions battling against morals and beliefs. Right and wrong. Why should someone get to choose who lives and who dies? Why should someone have the authority to decide whom to bring back from the dead? This novel is filled with action along with cunning twists and turns that will keep you reading on.

The relationship between Clair and Jesse is once again very interesting and peculiar. Clair wants to restore d-mat, whilst Jesse wants the world to adapt to the abstainer lifestyle. Beliefs and morals battling against another.  Clair grew as character as she observed herself during her voyage to fix the world, and slowly began to lean from her mistakes.

The ending truly won me over with its cleverness, and well thought out ideas. I am exhilarated to begin Hollowgirl: Fall, and cannot wait to see where Clair will stand, and what will happen next. The characters overall were well developed and grew together as the storyline grew.

Shifting Fate picks up right from where we left in Bound By Prophecy. Only this time it’s from Brianna’s point of view. I thoroughly enjoyed the switch in POV as last time we read from her sister, Emily’s perspective. I got a much better understanding of Brianna’s character in this sequel, as in the first novel she appeared to have been weak and frail, but that clearly was not the case in Shifting Fate. Instead she came off as a strong independent woman, as she shoved unwanted spotlight away from herself as she kept secretes hidden away from her twin sister, Emily, and the man she loved. Logan. The chemistry between Brianna and Logan was all the more hotter than Emily and Aern’s. Truth be told, I never expected to love someone more than Aern, until I actually fell in love with Logan, within three seconds flat. I loved the way Logan supported Brianna, even in the hardest of times. I found Brianna to be a much deeper character than I had first thought, as there was so much more to her story than the eye can see.

Shifting Fate was all the more intense, and action packed than the first novel. I loved how throughout the novel, we as readers watched as Brianna grew to believe in herself, despite her visions and powers altering. Knowing the outcome of what is coming, Brianna is desperate to change the course of the future.

Though I enjoyed this novel, I found Emily and Brianna’s heritage to be confusing at times as I got a bit lost when it came to Brianna researching about her linage and discovering how to fulfil the prophecy.  I’m sure that the last novel in the trilogy will clear things up, especially about who or what the seven lines and shadow are.
