My oldest read the first two “Nameless City” books a year or two ago; she was extremely disappointed to find that the third book hadn’t been written yet. The Nameless City: The Divided Earth came out in September, however, and so her wait is finally over. Wahoo!
Incidentally, I also enjoyed the end of the trilogy. While the middle installment surprised me with its leap into violence, this conclusion ended with a surprising, satisfying, and (relatively) non-violent solution. There is fighting, yes, but the ending is more of a foray into a new, ideal sort of peace–an idea that young readers in this day and age could use more of in their lives. I wish I’d remembered the characters slightly better–I read the first two at basically the same time my oldest did–but it wasn’t a make-or-break problem. If you haven’t encountered The Nameless City* trilogy yet, you’re missing out. This is middle grade graphic novel thoughtful action at its best; it’s pretty hard not to like it!
*FYI–It’s definitely the kind of trilogy you read in order.
