I guess that this book's biggest flaw is that its just a replay from the two others. By that I mean that the Midnighters search, go out and investigate, live their normal life, fight the Darklings until they realize they need to stop the big problem blocking their way. Surprise, this time they really need to save the world.

I honestly wanted to be done with this book. It dragged too long and because the story played out always in the same place, as in Bixby and its surround...more

In the final book of the Midnighter's trilogy, the blue time is beginning to fracture and fall apart. The five Midnighters, Dess, Jonathan, Jessica, Melissa and Rex are left scrambling, trying to find out why and prevent the entire world from becoming one big darkling buffet.

Like the other books this one is action-packed and rapid-paced from the first word to the last. We discover more about the lore and about the old Midnighter culture in Bixby. I loved the character development that has happe...more

Wow, Midnighters ended with a bang; quite an apocolyptic wrap-up for the series. Perhaps I should have expected this, having read the Uglies series, but I guess it just seemed like such a contained story in the first book that it caught me by surprise to see things get so... big in this one.

What a gripping ending for a fantastic series! This book continued to surprise me with how much more can happen within this make-believe world the author has dreamed up. None of these books has been a re-hash of what happened or even made you feel like you were stuck in a loop that started way back when. I think each of the books could actually stand on its own as a gripping story, but is easier to really get deeply into as you read all of them.

I nostri ragazzi hanno ben presto capito che quell'ora così speciale è in realtà piena di pericoli e insidie e nei libri precedenti hanno dovuto affrontare notevoli difficoltà, ma sono anche venuti a conoscenza della storia di altri midnighter prima di loro.
Nell'ultimo libro succede l'improbabile: l'ora segreta scatta nel bel mezzo della giornata, rendendo così la città un posto perfetto per gli attacchi degli Oscuri. I ragazzi si trovano a dover scoprire il perché di questo sconvolgimento e dovranno anche cercare di trovare una soluzione prima che il loro mondo venga gradualmente distrutto. Sicuramente 'è molta (forse troppa?) azione e il libro va avanti in un crescendo di suspence fino a un finale che definirei...eclatante.
Parliamo un po' dei personaggi: Jessica e Jonathan insieme non mi piacciono, presi singolarmente invece sono interessanti. In questo libro viene approfondito anche il rapporto di Jessica con la sorella e devo dire che non mi è dispiaciuto per niente. Rex...che dire? In questo libro Rex è molto cambiato, un cambiamento inquietate, che me lo ha fatto apprezzare ancora di più. Mi piacciono i personaggi complessi e Rex in questo libro si trova a dover fare i conti con un problema alquanto singolare. Melissa si troverà ad affrontare una situazione delicata e devo dire che l'ho apprezzata parecchio anche in questo libro: è cambiata rispetto al primo e decisamente in meglio. Anche Dess ha spazio in questo libro, anche se continuo a pensare che si sarebbe meritata di più.
Il finale...su questo ci sono pareri molto discordanti. La mia opinione? Nonostante non fosse il finale che mi ero aspettata, mi ha colpito e, ripensandoci, mi è anche piaciuto. Non ero assolutamente pronta a quello che Westerfeld aveva in mente per i suoi personaggi! Non vorrei fare spoiler, ma per chi non riesce a resistere dico solo questo: non è esattamente un lieto fine. Anzi, direi che non lo è per nulla e ci vuole coraggio, da parte di uno scrittore, a non cadere nella trappola del finale zuccheroso. C'è da dire che tutta la trilogia aveva dato prova di essere un po' più cruda dei soliti romanzi young adult, con riflessioni spesso amare, quindi direi che il finale è in linea con l'atmosfera dei libri. Ciononostante, un pochino mi è dispiaciuto, specie per certi personaggi.

Probably because the story revolved just around the five midnighters, doing their midnightly thing and such. I do wish the author should've expanded the story, not just focusing on the main characters. The three books have so much potential for it because the idea for the books are unique, especially this one, Blue Noon. I was dissapointed when I learned that the things happened are just limited to that same old town wherein not much things happen, except for the blue time.

As for the characters, I think the author somewhat failed to establish a relationships for the readers. They didn't give me much impact to sympathize and be happy with them for I can't quite relate myself to them. No matter how I try to, I always end up feeling that there's something lacking.

There's also a fact that the midnighters' relationship with each other are just for the sake of getting together because they are the only midnighters. It is somehow forced. Well, after all, Madeline said that she brought the five of them together to Bixby because they need to make up for what the old midnighters had done. Okay, it's part of the story, but the author could've done something to make their friendship with each other deeper that it was in the books.

Also, Jessica and Jonathan, ugh, they just showed the typical high school bf/gf relationship. It's like, they are together just for the sake of having a relationship. Their love for each other wasn't quite established in the story. Well, except in the last part, I think. Jessica and Rex used to be my otp, but meh. I'm fine with Melissa and Rex together because even they look withdrawn from the others, they have this connection to each other. They somewhat have the bond I've been looking for in the book.

And then there's Dess, a character that I favor from the trilogy. I somewhat feel sad for her, even if she's together with the other midnighters, she still outside of the circle. They depended on her and her math, but that's just it. The other midnighters were quite oblivious to what she feels, except for Melissa, probably, but she didn't quite show it. Dess knows what her case is but at least she doesn't go around telling people about it and feeling sorry for herself. She does her math, she does what she can do to help, and that's great.

The twist in the story is nice but it quite lacked in foundation and what happened throughout the book is limited and remained flat like the flatlands. There's something parallel with the thinking of the people of Flatland and the plot of the book. It didn't expanded like the rip and it also had been prevented before it could've gained much more potential. I almost gave 2 or 3 stars to this book when I was halfway reading it but I liked the climax in the story and how it ended though it quite saddens me. (less)

I chose this book because I wanted to finish the book trilogy. The midnighters are having an average day when everything goes blue. Midnight was slowly leaking into regular time because the darklings had created a "rip" in it. They go off to Madeline's house to figure it out, but Jessica can't go because she's still grounded. They figure out that the "rip" is making blue time leak into the real world. Jessica gets caught in a blue time zone and has to stay there or else she will burn in the sun....more

You know the characters now, so the things they do make more sense, although Rex & Melissa, v. 2.0's characters are still gradually being advanced.

The final book of the series climaxes the action while one of the Midnighters is going through a huge change, he’s becoming a halfling, half-midnighter half-darkling. Also, mysteriously enough, time frozes in the middle of the day, leaving humans unprotected from the terrors of midnight. Finally, there is one last confrontation with the Darklings on the most dangerous midnight of them all, Halloween.

A grand finale! And a not so happy ending but none the less a great one!

I feel satisfied with this ending. Westerfeld's story idea was a good one--full of fantasy and horror and intrigue. His execution might not have been the best, but I was sold on the fantasy of it. There were a few things that bothered me with this novel--all of which were things that bothered me consistently with the others in this trilogy. But in the end, I felt good about it.

Here are a few things that bothered me:
The more I tried to think logically about what was happening, the more I saw holes in his plot. I pointed out in the last book that using latitude and longitude didn't make sense considering that the beginning of this mythology took place before those lines were understood by the local people. In the same way, hours, and calendars would be useless.

Forgetting the complications of using hours and minutes, let's talk about calendars. He points out, somewhere in an earlier book and even in this one that there are differences in calendars used over the years. There's a comment about when months were in a different order. But there are a few holes in all of this. The months we work with today are from the Georgian calendar, put into effect by Pope George the who-knows-which-number. Not only is it relatively new in creation, but it's special in that it's a solar calendar instead of a lunar one. This means that it follows the sun and seasons instead of the moon. Solar and lunar calendars function very differently. For more details ask a Muslim, Jew, or pretty much anyone from Asia. They all use lunar calendars. The Georgian calendar was introduced to the Americas by European colonists.

I'm willing to bet a large sum of money (though I have not researched this myself) that before Europeans came to America, any calendar the natives were using was not solar, but lunar. The Mayan calendar is a lunar one. This means that Samhain would not fall on the same day each year--none of the months would be exactly the same each year--they're all dependent on the moon.

Take the same basic concept of where our hours, minutes, and day changes come from and you've got the other plot hole that I found. (Who the hell decided that our day should change in the middle of the night, anyway?)

Now, I realize that's a whole lot of issue with the story. I wish he would have done a little bit more research on these things and covered himself a little better. But I still enjoyed the story. I like his spread of characters, his change in perspective in each chapter, his build up to the climax, and most importantly, I loved how he brought it to a close.

Endings can be very tricky. Especially in trilogies like this. I feel that Suzanne Collins failed us in her ending to the Hunger Games trilogy because she just dropped our emotions and anticipation without care and wrapped things up too quickly. Westerfeld didn't do that. He surprised us with an extra little twist on the ending, pushed the characters into their own futures, and then released the reader with something that makes us feel sad that it's over, but encourages our imagination to keep on rolling with the story. I like that tactic. It's satisfying enough to know there wont be another book, but it's open enough to not let the story die at the end of the page. (less)

Rex, had this problems with his human nature and the darkling part he had inside, but then at the end he could control it, and of course he and melissa kind of broke up, but at the end i think he has like the saddest ending, he still is the poor guy, anyway.

Jonathan, well i liked him so much now, he really liked jessica, poor guy.

about Beth and Cassie i just hated them, at the end i kind of feel sorry for beth but still hate her.
DESS JUST ROCKS! MY FAVORITE BY FAR! AND SHE ACTUALLY ENDS FEELING HAPPINESS, THE ONLY ONE WITH A HAPPY ENDING;)

one thing i love about this books is that it keeps you thinking, all the time, is not just a YA book-serie it actually has a REAL PLOT, and is so obvious that scott spended a lot of time to make it great. all that maths things just rocks!

The ending doesn't make any sense! It's like he never even met any of the characters before! Jonathan & Rex & Melissa would never make the decisions he has them making at the end. It would never happen because it wouldn't put them any closer to getting what they want. Which is disappointing because right up until the very last chapter this book was excellent! Perfect.
I read on Westerfeld's website that Dess was his favorite character and it kinda seems like he just blew her off for most of this book (she didn't even get to do much of anything at all in the final showdown)and then he felt bad about it so he threw the rest of the characters to the wolves and let Dess give herself a smug pat on the back. Which is completely useless.
SO, here's what you should do. Read the series, because they really are great, and then when you get to the last chapter of Blue Noon, either write your own ending (because it HAS to be better than Westerfeld's) OR assume that the very next morning Rex wakes up and says
'Ok, guys, change of plans. What we were going to do yesterday would only be frustrating and fruitless and it was a stupid idea anyway. I'm the leader of this group and we still have 2 more years of High School so here's what we'll do: Jonathan, you work on solving Jessica's problem or, if you get the chance, just become like her. Melissa, you help me w/ my halfling problem while using the contortion to mindcast for other new midnighters. We'll contact them, spill the beans, give tips. We'll have a chat w/ Jessica's family...'. When Maddy says 'The Bixby of my day was blah, blah, blah' He'd say 'Well, it's not your day anymore. It's ours and Bixby is now an oasis for midnighters everywhere'. Dess would bide her time becoming famous as the best anti-darkling defense weapons developer in the world until she got out of High School and then she'd go show off her big brain in college and the story could still end on her smug one-liner. Bada-bing bada-boom! Much better than the real ending.(less)
