Dust - the finale

        I decided to write about my independent reading instead of the columnist packet because in all honesty, I did not find the first 14 pages all that enjoyable. While they were interesting, I did not get the same feeling from them as I did when we read the first set of columns in that packet we did in class.

      Anyway, I'm very sad to this great trilogy come to an end, I just started reading this series after winter break and it has been such a great trilogy, it's up there with some of my other favorite trilogy's. This trilogy also sets itself apart because it takes place in a world in which I have never experienced.

     This book and the ones before were executed so perfectly because I have had so many 'ah-ha' moments, plots that existed that I would never have thought of, and I can kinda see where this book is headed as I finish up the last 100 pages but then again. With all the twists and turns, it might end up in the polar opposite way. To me, he does a very good job with his plots in an implicit-explicit way. I always felt I could get a grasp of what was going on because say, a few chapters before he made an implicit statement about ideas or plots that were coming up that I might not have caught onto at the time and I was always thinking why did that come up or what does that have to do and I would be very confused at the time. Then, the idea would resurface in a very explicit way and I would be thinking "Oooohhhhh", that makes sense now. Everything he does is excellent, the characters, the plot, the way it all comes together, etc. Because in some books I read, one of those elements doesn't add up and it sorta ruins it for me but everything has been great in this series. I'm going to miss it, but hopefully I can find another series that I can enjoy just as much as this one. Totally recommend it to anyone!
