Then in book 4 they travel to Antartica and suddenly become eco-freaks who, instead of being focused on thwarting the organizations trying to capture or kill them, become advocates for getting people to stop global warming.<br /><br />(Just a note: I proudly consider myself to be an eco-freak and do everything I can to minimize my negative impact on the planet, including averaging 20 mixed mpg in a vehicle only rated 18 highway.)<br /><br />The sudden shift in focus was pretty jarring and I almost put the series down then and there... after finishing /Nevermore/ I wish I had. /Nevermore/'s ending was the most lackluster I'd ever read, and truly made me wish I hadn't bothered continuing after /The Final Warning/.<br /><br />That said, I highly recommend the first three books – especially if you enjoy a good conspiracy and semi-feasible sci-fi.<br /><br />(Another NOTE: I am TL's husband but that in no way affects the views I've expressed here.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991502670841359732noreply@blogger.com
