![]() ![]() There will definitely be spoilers throughout the rest of this review, as it’s impossible to really rant without spoilers. And you totally can, because while the rest of the books sometimes involve characters from the first book, none of them really build on themes from the first book – and it’s the themes that make The Giver so fantastic. I guess a 3/5 overall, but I strongly recommend reading The Giver even if you decide to give the other books a miss. I’m not even sure that I can give this series a rating as a whole because of the wildly differing ratings between books. However, while I found The Giver as brilliant as ever, I felt that the other books really dropped off, especially Messenger, and, to some extent, Son. So I was pretty excited to dive into this quartet. It had been many years since I originally read The Giver (and was mind-blown by it), and until recently I didn’t even realize that there were other books that followed it.
