For longer than anyone knew, they were there. Before half the world died, before the lies became the truth, before anyone understood, the List Keepers were there . . . waiting.

Inside the books, it had predicted everything, the Banoff, the Aylantik, the AOI, the Doneharvest, the end, and even itself. The Justar Journal had always been there . . . waiting.

With so many secrets hidden, Grandyn discovers something more extraordinary than he ever dreamed. The AOI must stop him from sharing it; they are far from his biggest problem. Blaise, Deuce, and Lance all need to control the secret. But the greatest danger may be the Trapciers, who must destroy it. He can only count on one person. She’s been waiting . . . and she belongs to the List Keepers. When searching for the truth, you may find it never existed. ( )

Well, it was better than The Lost TreeRunner, but not as good as the Last Librarian. I found myself reading to find out how it was going to wrap up. I didn't love any of the characters; the only character I truly hated was the main villain. The trouble was that she was a character we were supposed to hate; if we weren't sure, the references to her as Hitler would make sure we knew hating her was the Right Thing to do.

Subtlety isn't this author's forte. I think the theme of this book can be summed up with this quotation: "You can’t compare evil. Evil is evil, whether it kills a thousand, a million, or a billion. Evil is the illness that has prevented humanity from reaching its true potential."

I can only recommend this dystopian SF book to fans of the series who managed to finish the second book. ( )
